Okay, I rebooted the system, and tried to start Wayland. The first log
is the output of my first attempt. This hung and I had to kill it.
Actually, it was worse than that, <ctrl><alt><f2> caused the video
driver or somesuch to crash - I ended up with a scrambled display, and
had to ssh in and reboot ...
I then googled, and because it said DISPLAY is not set, I tried setting
it to both DISPLAY=localhost:0 and DISPLAY=0:0. This gave two identical
logs, the second one, which didn't hang - it just failed to start and
terminated.
I'm trying to install and run the latest kernel - the current kernel has
compiled the driver and firmware into the kernel, I've told the new
kernel to build it as a module and not load the firmware into the
kernel, but you've seen my post about genkernel ... where simply trying
to tell genkernel to put the final initramfs somewhere other than the
default causes fatal errors in the build ...

> Now switching back to the tty KWin is running on should show the
started window and allow to interact with it. Support for running KWin
on a tty is still in it's early stages. Bugs are to be expected and
there are known missing features. Please consider it only as a mode to
experiment with.
Hmmm .... so I need to be running from sddm or similar if I want it to
work ... which will open a complete 'nother can of worms ...
