I'm guessing the time honoured startx from a console won't cut it.
Oh dear! I noticed this: https://git.enlightenment.org/core/enlightenment.git/tree/README.wayland which states that efl *must* be built with --enable-systemd option. I am running openrc ... so I don't know if the above just requires this as a build time dependency, or is needs systemd to be running. Anyway, from that write up and the Known Issues at the bottom it seems Wayland is not ready for prime time yet. -- Regards, Mick
