NVIDIA 364.12 beta driver still not working
I'm trying to run Orbment and/or Sway (wlc based too) on my desktop using the new NVIDIA 364.12 beta driver, but I can't due to following errors:
SWAY error log: https://ghostbin.com/paste/xbk7u ORBMENT error log: https://ghostbin.com/paste/69cp6
The changelog for the driver is showing Wayland compatibility: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/100577/en-us
I can test any workaround you provide me and help with debug process, but I can't write a fix for myself.
Thanks.
Nvidia won't work with wlc without special support (Namely using EGLStreams instead of gbm). See wayland-ml, weston did not pull Nvidia's patches either.
Just a note, that 364.15 doesn't work either (didn't expect it to).
A question: would it be possible to patch wlc to support Nvidia's implementation?
weston seems to have EGLStreams: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/weston-eglstream/
That's just an unofficial package with all of the patches Nvidia provided applied. They aren't upstreamed.
Could this be renamed to something like "EGLStream support" and have the feature label added?
Actually right now it's the users problem because they can't use this with the nvidia drivers...
Oh shut up, you aren't entitled to shit. Send patches yourself if you want. Nvidia's drivers don't implement the standard DRM APIs that Wayland needs.
If the intention is to never implement EGLStreams, can we close this issue then?
@her001 If it's that, then this should be closed.
Fedora 25 has by default Gnome Shell with EGLStreams patch applied.
:-1:
But if you send a similar PR to wlc then @Cloudef has agreed to merge it.
This should probably be closed, as nvidia support has been added since 574cca6.
