ASUS L210M Laptop

This #Xorg settings really helped to squeeze up performance for this low end laptop:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Graphics"
	Driver      "intel"
	Option      "AccelMethod"     "sna"
	Option      "DRI"             "3"
	Option      "TearFree"        "false"
	Option      "TripleBuffer"    "false"
	Option      "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
EndSection

Thanks to the SBC distro I've been brought back the the light & powefull LXQt DE. It's a breeze and a whif of elegance in blistering speed to work on the Raspberry Pi5.
I will install LXQt on my X86 system also so that machine can Fly like an Eagle

Thank you for the excellent work programmers!

@LXQt

Parcellite my favourite clipboard manager fails to show its icon on the taskbar in wayland

CopyQ shows also an important warning

Warning: [qt.qpa.wayland] QtWarning: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

So now I'm annoyed a bit

An important note about Wayland.
Here on the SBC I saw immedatley that wayland was used instead of X.org.
One program I installed (a screen shotter) failed because wayland does not support a lot of parameters / features the program uses.

However everything else just works smoothly, Wayland is out of the way here on the Pie

Wayland Will Never Be Ready

The full article titled, "Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User" is one of my favorite writings on the topic. Well done Maya Posch, well done indeed.

I typically disable my laptop's built-in keyboard and use an external #MechanicalKeyboard on top of it. For a long time I've been using a rather complicated `xinput` incantation but today I found a much simpler one:

`xinput disable "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"`

Boom, that's it!

No need to pass the device id (which changes across reboots and needs to be looked up). Apparently no need to separately set the touchpad's "Disable While Typing" option to false.

For those looking for an easy cwm status bar on FreeBSD, I recommend polybar.

#linux #wayland #xorg

#Wayland on #Debian Testing on my PC with #NVIDIA GTX 970 has never worked. I just used #Xorg instead, but there now seem to be solid rumors that Xorg support is going away soon, so I figured I should probably file a bug.
I did `reportbug mutter-common` (my best guess for where to put Wayland bugs) and it said there were newer packages in experimental did I want to try them before reporting the bug?
So I did `apt -t experimental dist-upgrade`, and lo and behold, Wayland works now.
Nice.

So tot sind der Xserver Xorg und vor allem die auf ihn noch angewiesenen Bedienoberflächen doch nun auch wieder nicht, dass man von "reanimiert" sprechen kann. *kopfschüttel*

Linux: Simple Wayland environment to replace Xorg

The new "Wayback" is intended to enable the operation of desktop environments that rely on X11 and thus replace Xorg in the medium term.

Linux: Simple Wayland-Umgebung soll Xorg beerben

Das neue "Wayback" soll den Betrieb von auf X11 angewiesenen Desktop-Umgebungen ermöglichen und so mittelfristig Xorg ersetzen.

Wayback is a new experimental minimal Wayland compositor that supports Xwayland, letting X apps function without a full X server.

Hey all...

Need to clarify something. Even though we have removed #X11 / #Xorg support from XeroLinux flagship, that doesn't mean that you will never be able to get it back.

We never take anything away without adding it back in our toolkit giving you the ability to bring it back. Check attached screenshot...
