I did manage to run Wayland + Hikari so Wayland works on FreeBSD :-) Ports version is 1.18 and lags behind only one release (1.20 is 1.19 with some readme added). I would prefer to stick to Enlightenment and its running on Wayland since version 0.20. New version of Enlightenment (0.22.4 -> 0.23.1) based on EFL (1.20.7 -> 1.23.3) is already working on my machine and will show up in ports shortly: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245596 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245594 Enlightenment has and needs new Wayland support that is based on ecore_wl2 from EFL. Someone hardcoded Linux DMA code into src/lib/ecore_wl2/ecore_wl2_buffer.c and that part of EFL does not build anymore on FreeBSD (not mandatory to run on Xorg). The good news is that EFL builds with both old Wayland support (wl-deprecated switch) and new one required for Enlightenment (wl switch) when all linuxisms are commented out from ecore_wl2_buffer.c. This means if we find a FreeBSD specific replacement for those DMA transfers all should work fine..? https://github.com/Enlightenment/efl/blob/master/src/lib/ecore_wl2/ecore_wl2_buffer.c The question is whether we should use some sort of DRM / GPU related DMA code or generic BUS DMA code? I have no experience over here.. the memory is a memory but if that affects video performance I guess video framebuffer should be used directly on a video card? :-) Best regards :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
