Can I use Xorg instead of Wayland?
My monado binary works only with Xorg. Can StardustXR works with Xorg or It's important to use Wayland?

stardust doesn't use xorg or wayland at all when connecting to monado
it uses gbm, it accesses the first gpu it can find directly (important for when you're running it headless as the only display server)
as long as monado runs, stardust should run
the stardust server does implement wayland right now, so X11 apps can't display in stardust yet
but stardust will run on top of plasma for x or plasma for wayland or so on
@Nova it's awesome. How can I debug that? I'm started and run stardust server and then run flatland, but there are no image at output, just black screen (even no gray as standard monado video output). Where can I find something like a debug logs?
flatland and the server won't show anything
you need to also run an app
or run
hexagon_launcher from protostar repoHow can I run app at the stardust?
that'll give you a giant hexagon grid to grab an app from and drop it in empty space to ahve it launch there
2D or stardust client?
2D I guess. I want to start something like a PHPStorm at Stardust.
PHPStorm?
ah IDE
Yeah, PHPStorm is IDE for PHP.
well then, if you're running Xorg then you should be able to just do
DISPLAY= WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 phpstorm
assuming it supports wayland nativelyTUVM! I will try when I will be home.
:D
for the record you can think of flatland like openbox and the server like Xorg
they're similar
but running only those 2 programs wouldn't show anything on the screen at all
