Status of Wayland implementation on nVidia graphics cards

[Christian Ohrfandl]

Hello Martin,

thank you for the link and the quick reply!

I definitely use Nouveau:

lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 
760] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] GK104 [GeForce GTX 760]
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau

When choosing the wayland session and logging in, only black background 
(on the other monitor the chosen wallpaper and some desktop icons) and a 
bigger cursor loads (c.f. attached picture); no interaction with system 
possible (tried this several times; sometimes the background one the 
other monitor does not even load). I have made a video I could share 
with you, if you want to...

Are there any logs I may view in order to resolve the issue after 
turning the PC off and on again? Shall I file a bug report?


Cheers,
Christian
