The First Bits Of Wine's Wayland Driver Were Merged Written by Michael Larabel in WINE on 16 March 2023 at 04:50 PM EDT. 9 Comments WINE The first code has landed into Wine Git as part of the multi-year effort creating a Wayland driver for Wine so that the Windows games/ applications running via Wine can enjoy native Wayland support. This isn't yet usable for end-users/gamers but is the early implementation with more parts to follow. The Wine Wayland driver is hoping to be possibly upstreamed in full this year while last month saw the initial merge request that stubbed out the new driver and added other early parts to this "winewayland.drv" implementation. Wine Wayland commits land It's that merge request, "winewayland.drv: part 1: Introduce the Wayland driver", that as of today is now in Wine Git. A "second part" of this Wine Wayland code is currently being worked on to report more monitor information and the "GetCurrentDisplaySettings" handling. This part one code will be found in the Wine 8.4 bi-weekly development release expected tomorrow. Hopefully by the Wine 9.0 stable release early next year we'll have native Wayland support all ready for Wine desktop users and gamers. 9 Comments Tweet [INS::INS] Related News Hangover 0.8.3 Released For Enjoying Windows x86/x86_64 Apps/Games On Linux ARM64 Wine-Staging 8.3 Released With Fix For MeshroomCL Wine 8.3 Released With Low Fragmentation Heap, Smart Card Support Wine Wayland Driver Takes Another Step Closer To Mainline Wine-Staging 8.2 Brings Support For Native ODBC Drivers Plus Fixes A 15 Year Old Bug Wine 8.2 Released With More Improvements For Running Windows Apps/ Games On Linux About The Author Michael Larabel Michael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
