Full Wayland support

[janvlug]

It seems that displaylink-debian does not support Wayland, when reading the prerequisites:

“When you are logging into your session you are using X server (X11) and not Wayland.”

However Displaylink should have Wayland support.

When I do: sudo -E ./displaylink-debian.sh --debug on my Librem 5 running PureOS, I get:

Can't open display

My guess is that this is because the phone runs Wayland.

See also this forum topic.

I outcommented this line: providers="$(xrandr --listproviders)" the script continues now after this line.

Both on my Librem 5 with PureOS and on my Fedora 37 Wayland only systems xrandr --listproviders gives Can't open display. The command xrandr --listmonitors however gives output like:

Monitors: 1
 0: +WAYLAND0 360/65x720/130+0+0  XWAYLAND0

I tried installing displaylink-debian again on my Librem 5. After installation, the login screen does not appear, and the screen stays black. I noticed this in the prerequisites: "When you are logging into your session you are using X server (X11) and not Wayland." Maybe this is the reason why the login screen stayed black after the reboot. Fortunately, I could still login via ssh to remove displaylink-debian. After uninstalling the login screen was there again after a reboot.

+1 on this issue. Debian bookworm comes standard with wayland. Would love to help out and make this work :)

+1 also, all major DE are dropping X11 in the coming year so I could be nice to support wayland
