Gnome+Wayland: Could not create virtual pointer #237

Open emembrives opened 1 year ago

emembrives commented 1 year ago

It seems that wrapd has issues running on Gnome3 with Wayland (might be the same bug as #219 and #234):

bin/warpd --hint
Could not create virtual pointer (virtual pointer unsupported?)

Version:

$> bin/warpd -v
warpd v1.3.5 (built from: 110d03a)

Unfortunately Gnome is completely unsupported as it doesn't implement the requisite protocol. At the moment only wlroots based wayland compositors like sway are supported.

Having the same issue on Plasma 6. Apparently, because it uses kwin as its compositor. What are the steps and challenges to implement it for other compositors? :thinking:
