<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've been somewhat waiting for some
sign from above that Wayland is actually a real, usable piece of
software, as it's been hyped as "xorg, but doesn't suck". My
limiters are fglrx support (again, my damn 6-head ati card), and
decent support for window environments, mostly kde I use on
everything now. <br>
<br>
At your mention, I looked at Wayland as it's been a while, and
still seems like a tech demo more than a usable product.<br>

<br>
I did try the oss ati driver vs. fglrx, and sadly it was only
seeing one monitor, wanting to only replicate the output across
all 6. Scratch.<br>
<br>
Ubuntu/compiz is just out of the question, I tried lxde, mint
(cinnamon/mate), gnomeshell, and more or less hate them all vs.
kde that remains the most usable/bug-free. I might try that
second link later and see how my mileage might vary, but I'm still
stuck on using kde as the least sucky (usable) desktop out there
atm.<br>
<br>
I did try lxde with marco as a compositor, but it was as buggy, or
worse than compiz in dealing with my giant 11520x1200
framebuffer. So far Kwin is the least buggy at it, and I still
can't spawn an opengl game without it flickering like an
epilepsy-inducing apparatus by design as they all do. <br>
<br>
Apparently no one considers someone might actually try and make 6
displays work, aside from me of course, but then the rest of the x
issues just compound it to make that the least of my worries. I
had designs to replace my 6x displays with 3x 4k res displays
(11520x2160), but I need to see this will even work stable before
bothering.<br>

seems to be a big problem for me, in that it simply refuses to
open new apps, and find this happens more and more these days.
Am I like the only actual person to use linux these days that
this occurs with?<br>
<br>
I've seen reports of this, stating it's a hard-coded thing in
xorg code, which I find entirely asinine, but seems a reality
when using Chrome/Chromium that launches some 300 flocks on
various things, and blows out the 256/512 client count on
xorg. I find this almost stupid, and feel I'm back to the
days of windoze me having to reboot every other day.<br>
<br>
Reality is I have 3 chrome profiles open, some pdfs,
libreoffice, some chrome apps, some file manager windows
(dolphin/kde), and not much else. Sort of want to punch
someone in the face when I see this - someone is obviously
doing something wrong, and really can't see why. All I can
ever think is really, am I the only person that really "uses"
a linux desktop to see these?<br>
<br>
Uninstalling pepperflash, or any flash vermin, seems to have
done some good, no longer causing a persistent memory leak in
xorg/fglrx drivers, but otherwise chrome|chromium still seems
an absolute basketcase under linux, forgetting there are
resource limits they should consider adhering to.<br>
