Re: Re: Wayland test results Albrecht Schlosser Oct 19, 2021  
 
I'm now able to use my Linux Mint 20 with a "Gnome/Wayland" session.

For those interested in the problems and the solution: I had all required packages installed but I could not select the Wayland session from the login screen: I had two "Gnome" sessions that did the same (Gnome on Xorg). I found the following article helpful: https://askubuntu.com/questions/895730/how-to-start-gnome-wayland-desktop-from-lightdm

As the article describes I had two `gnome.desktop` files in /usr/share/xsessions/ and /usr/share/wayland-sessions/, respectively. The one in /usr/share/xsessions/ was a link to `gnome-xorg.desktop`. The only thing I had to do was to remove that link, then I could select either Gnome/X11 or Gnome/Wayland. The only drawback on my system was that the mouse didn't work after switching to Wayland (trackpad worked). After unplugging and plugging the USB cable back in it worked.


More FLTK/Wayland test results below...

Both threads and glpuzzle demos are still sluggish and hard to stop.

sudoku: this app should change its window title but this doesn't happen

This works fine now in the Gnome/Wayland session.

Note: the "cursor" demo displays FL_CURSOR_HAND correctly (a "hand") but
FL_CURSOR_NS is shown as the "normal" cursor.

This is still an issue in the Gnome/Wayland session. The FL_CURSOR_NS cursor doesn't display in both the `tile` and the `cursor` demos. Can you please verify that you can see this cursor (a vertical double arrow).

Another interesting (positive) observation is drawing speed with GL (fractals demo). The X11 and the Wayland versions show a very similar frame rate (in tree/6 mode about 59 fps when run alone). I attach a screenshot of both programs side-by-side which shows a small difference (but this is to be expected).

Unfortunately we don't have a similar drawing speed comparison for X11 vs. Wayland (Cairo) drawing.
