I've been somewhat waiting for some
sign from above that Wayland is actually a real, usable piece of
software, as it's been hyped as "xorg, but doesn't suck". My
limiters are fglrx support (again, my damn 6-head ati card), and
decent support for window environments, mostly kde I use on
everything now.
At your mention, I looked at Wayland as it's been a while, and still seems like a tech demo more than a usable product. http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2013/06/starting-a-full-kde-plasma-session-in-wayland/ http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-kde-plasma-5-on-kubuntu-14-04-kubuntu-14-10-and-linux-mint-17-kde/ I did try the oss ati driver vs. fglrx, and sadly it was only seeing one monitor, wanting to only replicate the output across all 6. Scratch. Ubuntu/compiz is just out of the question, I tried lxde, mint (cinnamon/mate), gnomeshell, and more or less hate them all vs. kde that remains the most usable/bug-free. I might try that second link later and see how my mileage might vary, but I'm still stuck on using kde as the least sucky (usable) desktop out there atm. I did try lxde with marco as a compositor, but it was as buggy, or worse than compiz in dealing with my giant 11520x1200 framebuffer. So far Kwin is the least buggy at it, and I still can't spawn an opengl game without it flickering like an epilepsy-inducing apparatus by design as they all do. Apparently no one considers someone might actually try and make 6 displays work, aside from me of course, but then the rest of the x issues just compound it to make that the least of my worries. I had designs to replace my 6x displays with 3x 4k res displays (11520x2160), but I need to see this will even work stable before bothering. -mb On 06/11/2015 08:09 PM, Stephen Partington wrote:
