Wayland support

Post by amyiris »

When is Wayland support going to finally come to WINE? I don't want to have to use something like wine-wayland, since I want upstream WINE updates.

WINE doesn't even make an attempt to use XWayland or anything like that. It just simply says it isn't supported.

Could you even have something that checks for this at compile time? Or provide a warning when launching WINE that with the current display server type it won't work?

As far as I understand it, there are quite a few problems with Wayland.
