#Wayland

5 posts5 participants1 post today

Got an issue with #sway and #wayland on my dual monitor setup. When I start up my left monitor is mapped to the right and vise versa, so I added this to my sway config
`output DP-6 pos 0 0
output DP-5 pos 3840 0`
Now I can't move my cursor between monitors at all. If I run `swaymsg -t get_outputs` it shows the monitors are correctly arranged, eg:
`Output DP-6 'Dell Inc. DELL U2718Q H0YFH88A0GRL'
Current mode: 3840x2160 @ 59.997 Hz
Power: on
Position: 0,0
Scale factor: 1.250000
Scale filter: linear
Subpixel hinting: unknown
Transform: normal
Workspace: 1
Max render time: off
Adaptive sync: disabled
Allow tearing: no
Available modes:
3840x2160 @ 59.997 Hz ...`
and I can swap between the monitors with `$mod+n` where n is the workspace number, but not by moving the mouse or wacom pen or touch. Anyone know what's going on?

@nixCraft it works, but its dependent on the apps who actual implement solutions to allow #screensharing to work properly, such as the official #discord app's screensharing just doesn't work on #Wayland, and you would need to use an alternative client to even start get something functional, but otherwise, it has been working. Your mileage may vary depending on the tool you use

Fedora 43 will adopt a Wayland-only policy, removing all X11 sessions from the GNOME-equipped Workstation.

This change reinforces Fedora's commitment to Wayland, which has been the default since Fedora 36.

Users will be switched to Wayland, while those preferring X11 must use alternative desktop environments.

Are you still using X11? If yes, why?

#Fedora#Wayland#X11
So still on my #OpenBSD adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it sixel in xterm or the kitty protocol in kitty, I've decided to stick with good old #Xterm . Also on my #FreeBSD daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used alacritty or kitty to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a #Wayland chic on my #ThinkPad I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but #HerbstluftWM and #Openbox are in my sights although I'm still using the default #Fvwm right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into nsxiv for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of imv is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. #RunBSD
Decided that using xorg on my dell optiplex 3080 tower under #FreeBSD isn't for me although it bought back memories. I have seen how certain software has already become stale by which I mean no updates or bug fixes in a good 4-5 years. So I've switched back to #Wayland which I still use on my #ThinkPAD . But my experience of using twm and xterm have made me go explore #Labwc again with my favourite Wayland terminal Foot. It's a lovely minimal stacking window manager which can be themed using #OpenBox themes. I have gruvbox dark installed which I quite like. As to what bar I'm going to use ? I'm not sure maybe waybar or sfwbar or even something else ? #RunBSD

@courtney prefer ozone has been hit or miss for me in terms of things actually implementing it.

Over all performance is much better with #wayland (IME) with the exception of if there is hardware resource contention.

Depending on your display adapter you may or may not have functional hardware acceleration enabled - not familiar with Vivaldi’s settings, maybe another thing to look into though.
