Bug ID: 264389
Summary: Handbook has misleading information concerning wayland
on Nvidia
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Books & Articles

The handbook states (in chapter 5.10):
"The current Nvidia driver should work with most wl-roots compositors, but it
may be a little unstable and not support all features at this time. Volunteers
to help work on the Nvidia DRM are requested."
This is misleading, since due to missing module nvidia-drm basically no wayland
compositor can be started.
This can also be seen from the package message of wlroots port:
"Known issues: NVIDIA option (aka wlroots-eglstreams) requires nvidia-drm.ko
from nvidia-driver"
This means wayland is not functional with nvidia driver, but it may take a lot
of time for users to figure this out, since the handbook makes the impression
that wayland would work with nvidia.
