Ubuntu Tweak

Introduction

This PPA has all the bits and pieces you need to run a recent-ish git snapshot of wayland on Maverick.

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/wayland
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wayland

Then to start up Wayland from within your Xorg session, run:

$ wstart

If you'd like to start things up manually, the server is started like this:

$ wayland-compositor -b /usr/share/backgrounds/space-01.jpg &

Several client programs are included (and might even work):

$ wayland-terminal
$ wayland-smoke
$ wayland-flower
$ wayland-gears
$ wayland-view

When you're done and want to restore your system to its original state, use ppa-purge:

$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
$ sudo -d maverick ppa:xorg-edgers/wayland
