« Last post by Hasturtium on April 25, 2025, 09:23:14 pm »All right. Clean install of Fedora 42, reusing the /home folder from my prior Fedora install. It’s all Wayland now, and I’ll revisit Xfce at some future point on this machine. I am using mesa-freeworld for accelerated video encoding and playback. Vulkan works within Gnome but KDE reliably chooses llvmpipe over the radeonsi Vulkan driver, as below.
hasturtium@garlic:~$ MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=list vulkaninfo
selectable devices:
GPU 0: 1002:73e3 "AMD Radeon Pro W6600 (RADV NAVI23)" discrete GPU 0000:03:00.0
GPU 1: 10005:0 "llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.1, 128 bits)" CPU 0000:00:00.0
How do I beat it upside the head to understand my point of view?

You are very nice. Thank you!

« Last post by DKnoto on April 23, 2025, 05:24:20 am »Well GDM has disabled X11 Session. Users are forced to go with Wayland moving forward. To me it makes no difference because X11 apps can function fine with XWayland
It is not so nice, quite a few applications do not work properly: xwininfo on the desktop or xset.

« Last post by Hasturtium on April 22, 2025, 08:45:51 am »I realize this sounds like a non-solution, but the solution for me is to textboot and bring up X11 (or, if I'm feeling masochistic, Wayland) manually -- no display manager at all.
Honestly, that sounds fine. In days of yore (read: Slackware on x86) I'd just change the runlevel at boot; what's the approved methodology in systemd-land?

« Last post by Hasturtium on April 21, 2025, 11:30:31 am »Now I’ve been bitten by the gdm Xorg snafu in F41. Managed to squirm into Gnome Classic, switched the display manager to lightdm, rebooted, and the system now only lets me into the onboard video via Gnome Classic and Wayland. What’s the solution here? I’m about this close to just switching to RHEL 10 when it lands.
