Public bug reported: It seems that libei is not a dependency for xwayland, and hence xwayland never gets compiled with support for using libei for xtest emulation on XWayland. Hence, xdotool, steam etc can not utilize the now excisting XTest emulation, which works in for example Fedora 40. For more info see for example: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/xorg-xwayland/-/issues/3
Libei IS however installed so it seems the intent was for it to work but since xwayland lacks the support it does not. Ubuntu 24.04 xwayland 2:23.2.6-1 Expected behaviour is that for example xdotool now should work under Wayland thanks to libei but currently it does nothing. ** Affects: xwayland (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xwayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2075962 Title: XTest emulation on XWayland not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xwayland/+bug/2075962/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
