It also provides a -library allowing other projects to build their own full-featured -environments on top of Weston's core. - -A small suite of example or demo clients are also provided: though they -can be useful in themselves, their main purpose is to be an example or -test case for others building compositors or clients. - - -Slackware-specific Information ------------------------------- - -***************************************** -IMPORTANT: MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED. -***************************************** - -This SlackBuild of Weston takes a fairly "hands off" approach, and there -are a few things users need to be aware of. - -To launch Weston, here are some required steps. - -Please note that setting weston-launch suid root is NOT required any longer -under PAM-ified Slackware Current. - -1. If you do not have another script exporting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, you -should enable the one that comes with this SlackBuild: - - # chmod +x /etc/profile.d/weston.sh - (or .csh, depending on your shell) - -2. Logout (if necessary) and re-login as root. - -Once you've logged out and back in as root, run: - - `exec weston-launch -u $USER` - -where $USER is the username of the normal user you would like to launch Weston -as. - -To launch with Xwayland support, run: - - `exec weston-launch -u $USER -- --xwayland` - -You can use the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace keyboard combination to kill Weston. - - -Optional Dependencies ---------------------- - -At the present time, the only optional dependency for this SlackBuild is -colord, which is disabled by default. That is because colord pulls in many -dependencies, while building Weston without colord requires no dependencies at -all on Slackware current, which may be more desirable for users that just want -to quickly test out Wayland by getting Weston up and running. - -If you would like to enable colord functionality in this SlackBuild, -set the USE_COLORD variable to "true" before running the SlackBuild. - - -Known Issues ------------- - -* I have not had success getting Weston to launch with the proprietary nvidia -drivers in use. YMMV. I have had the best luck with the Intel KMS drivers. - -* In testing 8.0.0 on the newly PAM-ified Slackware current, I have found that -after running Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to quit, I am brought back to a blank, -black screen. If this happens, try waiting a few seconds and then hit -Ctrl+Alt+F2 (for instance) followed by Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to the console. - -* I want to stress and emphasize that this is still relatively experimental -software, that talks to your hardware at a fairly low level. For the most -part, I have not had any major issues, but I have seen some odd bugs and -behaviour, including Weston hard-locking my system upon exit and having to -reboot. I have also returned to my shell to find that some keystrokes I had -inputted while using Weston had been inputted into my console with a series of -"Command not found" errors. I do not believe Weston has been widely tested on -non-systemd/logind systems such as Slackware. Use at your own risk. |
