OKie dOKie, I set USE=wayland globally and just installed dev-libs/efl-9999
and x11-wm/enlightenment-9999 from bar overlay. I had to disable opengl and
sdl, enable egl gles and a number of packages were emerged/re-emerged.
I am now running the newly compiled enlightenment and it is more stable than
before. Nothing has crashed so far and I have not been able to reproduce the
previous mesa/dri problems with application tooltips freezing the whole
desktop.
Also, fonts look clearer, rendering seems faster, compositing smoother.
Switching languages in line with my settings in 10-evdev.conf is working as it
should. However, perhaps it is a silly question:
How do I know if wayland is running and if it has a hand in all this goodness?
I don't see any running process called wayland ...
These are the two enlightenment desktop related packages emerged from overlay
with their flags:
# emerge -1aDv @enlightenment
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

2nd question:
What are the following enlightenment modules for?
wl-desktop-shell
wl-drm
wl-fb
wl-x11
Do I need these to run wayland, or is the wayland USE flang alone sufficient?
