Overview

Features

Display Wayland applications without GPU overhead (zero-copy via dma-buf)
Mouse and keyboard input, with precision scrolling support
Tested on AMD and Nvidia

Supported software

Basically all Qt and GTK applications (they work out of the box)
Most XWayland applications via cage

Launching external apps inside WayVR

To launch your app externally:

DISPLAY= WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-$(cat $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayvr.disp) yourapp

or (in the most cases):

DISPLAY= WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-20 yourapp

Setting DISPLAY to an empty string forces various apps to use Wayland instead of X11.

Troubleshooting

My application doesn't launch but others do!

Even though some applications support Wayland, some still check for the DISPLAY environment variable and an available X11 server, throwing an error. This can also be fixed by running cage on top of them.

Floating windows

Context menus are not functional in most cases yet, including drag & drop support.
