 |
|
I never had much trouble with GNOME on Wayland until November or December last year. Then, after upgrading to wayland-1.23.1, I no longer can type blindly. In Emacs, for example, I can't take my eyes off the screen because the cursor may jump unexpectedly at any moment, and I would end up overwriting my text in random places unbeknownst to myself. I don't use XOrg (nor do I have it compiled in), but a relative of mine does (via GNOME on Debian) and has not experienced this problem.
Apparently, this has been an ongoing issue. But before I switch back to XOrg (which I don't want to do), I'd like to know if anybody has dealt with
this successfully? Many thanks.
PS I've noticed that Wayland-1.41 has recently been released, but Gentoo still ships v. 1.23.1. |

I think you may be confusing wayland-protocols and libwayland. Anyway, if that were the case, the place to report that would be bugs.gentoo.org. But really, the version of dev-libs/wayland is rarely relevant to a problem. Far more likely to do with the rest of the DE. |

Ah! Can you think of a specific GNOME library/libraries being the likely culprit here? |
