Status of Wayland implementation on nVidia graphics cards
Dear KDE community, I just installed KDE Neon Git unstable from September 19th 2017 on may main computer. I want to use Wayland (because of testing and submitting potential bug reports), but I can't (after user login, screen is black with a big cursor, but I can not interact with the session; most probably because of my nVidia Geforce 760 graphics card). Therfore, I want to ask how mature Wayland/nVidia implementation is? Does it work in general? If so, which driver (nouveau or proprietary)? Is there a (bug)tracker? Thank you in advance! best regards, Christian

I'm sorry, KDE can't help you with this: - As you said, KDM is unsupported and its maintainer isn't active in KDE anymore - The problem you're experiencing isn't even a problem KDE has anything to do with, it stems from a change that apparently Mageia developers made to the KDM login manager.
