One more quick question. I had read somewhere that Wayland has troubles with Nvidia cards, but what is strange is that I was able to download a Wayland Linux ISO called "WayfireWM 3D" https://forum.manjaro.org/t/wayfire-linux-manjaro-spin-with-wayfirewm-3d-wayland-compositer/110398 and iso from

Hi pq, Thanks so very much for the clarification as I am totally new to the Wayland world across all of the platforms. In the past, I have used a lot of Linux and other similar flavors, but for this particular project, I am jumping into the FreeBSD and illumos-based (i.e. OpenIndiana, OmniOS, and

Yea, that is the idea. The concern for me is that my main OS for the project being built off of FreeBSD that has been trimmed down with a project called "mfsBSD" is at about 30MB in size (compressed, uncompress is about 65MB). It holds everything except the graphic stuff. As this is an exercise

Hi Thiago, Thanks for your response. The problem that I seem to have here is that the FreeRDP client application cannot be compiled to use DirectFB easily as support for it was stopped a number of years ago and would take a lot of work to revitalize that effort. On the other hand, they do have

Hi pq, Thanks for your question on my post and I am sorry that I was not clearer on the information. Yes, you are correct in that the Direct Framebuffer approach that I am thinking about is how it might be possible to compile Weston compositor of the Wayland protocol to use the DirectFB (direct

Thanks, I am digging into the cage project now. Not exactly sure what the Wayland and Cage relationship is together but am assuming that it might be able to provide the graphics support that I seek. Cheers, Lonnie On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 10:56 AM Ilia Bozhinov wrote: > Hello, > > I am not
