https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222232 Bug ID: 1222232 Summary: Switch KDE live to wayland Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium Assignee: dimstar@opensuse.org Reporter: petr.vorel@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Could we move KDE Tumbleweed live from using xorg to wayland? Or is there a reason to keep xorg? GNOME already uses wayland. Why? xorg has bugs, which are unlikely to fixed (upstream concentrates on wayland). Tested on lastest KDE6 live: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20240329-Media.iso, but the problem was on KDE5 as well. /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports (EE) Unknown chipset: NV177 Background: I'm using Thinkpad P16 with intel GPU and nvidia GPU (NVIDIA Corporation GA107GLM [RTX A1000 Laptop GPU]. This laptop requires to use nvidia GPU for external screens. Because we don't use nvidia proprietary kernel module nor nvidia open GPU kernel module (and none of this I would prefer to use), we use nouveau on live Tumbleweed, external screens are working (because kwin supports multi-GPU buffer sharing), but that works without bugs (flickering on external screens) only on wayland (xorg has problems). I tested various distros, which all are working on nouveau (using recent kernels and wayland): * Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-39-1.5.iso * neon-user-20240321-0715.iso * openSUSE-Tumbleweed-GNOME-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20240306-Media.iso -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
