 |
|
I upgraded to gnome 3.16 and would like to try Wayland instead of X11. Is it sufficient to remove the X use flag, or is it needed on wayland w/ Xorg as a server to support legacy apps which don't work on Wayland?
I see wayland flags for gdm, but also an Xorg process:
| Code: |
gdm 2093 0.0 0.0 183964 4628 tty7 Ssl+ Oct31 0:00 /usr/libexec/gdm-wayland-session /usr/bin/gnome-session --autostart /usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart --session gnome-wayland
gdm 2097 0.0 0.1 562140 12820 tty7 Sl+ Oct31 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-session --autostart /usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart --session gnome-wayland
gdm 2128 0.4 1.3 1345084 105632 tty7 Sl+ Oct31 6:11 gnome-shell --mode=gdm --wayland --display-server
gdm 2152 0.0 0.4 214832 35412 tty7 Sl+ Oct31 0:00 /usr/bin/Xwayland :1024 -rootless -noreset -listen 4 -listen 5 -displayfd 6
root 2354 1.7 0.2 252012 22908 tty2 Rl+ Oct31 21:26 /usr/bin/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3

I'm curious if Wayland will provide better support for my 4k seiki tv/monitor setup.
So the question is: Is there a way to go with a pure wayland setup by changing my use flags and recompiling?
I have an intel i915 nvidia optimus system using bumlebee as mutter/gdm segfault with nvidia as the opengl setting
---- EDIT ----
There is an option in GDM to login using Wayland if you click the settings gear.

You should read the doc of wayland here: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/
The support for 4K screen resolution depends on the graphics driver. |
