elogind is available. I haven't had a chance to test this out. I think
you can hack around it temporarily by linking libsystemd to libelogind.
Then have EFL built with systemd support, assuming it likes the
libsystemd symlinked to libelogind. Otherwise may require modifying
build system, etc.

I have a bug open as to such.

In order to run the Wayland version of E, it requires the use of 
systemd-logind. In my experience, a typical gentoo system does not use 
Systemd so this may be one problem you encounter.

Yes, VT-switching is broken at the moment due to Atomic support being 
added. I will be looking into fixing this very soon. Multi-Monitor 
support is already being worked on.

As Michael has stated, http://phab.enlightenment.org is being used to 
track bug reports and issues. You can do an advanced search in Maniphest 
to look for any Open bugs with the Wayland tag.

Feel free to file tickets for any issues you encounter.

VT switching is known to be broken after some recent changes, multi-monitor
support is in progress.

https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/wayland/ has some info, but we have very
few developers working on Wayland support and our limited resources are
typically dedicated to writing code and not blog posts or documentation.
You can ask around in IRC for more info, there are quite a few users there
who test/run Wayland regularly.

[E-devel] Wayland status ?

[brane212]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new with E, at least from under-the-bonnet perspective, so 
don't take offence if I'm asking the obvious.

I'm interested in Wayland and can't make E to work with it, at least on 
Gentoo.

I compiled development copy separately and it seems to be working, well 
at least for first few moments, until one hits some issue.

So I wonder, where is wayland work at this moment - it would be nice to 
know, what is expected to be fixed short-term and what

demands more work. Simple VT-change locks my machine, multi-monitor is 
still not supported etc.

Is there a page, some kind of blog or similar that could be used as a 
changelog ?
