Xfce Xfce 4 is awesome! A guide to config xfce which supports wayland!

Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment.​
It used to work on xorg.​
These days,It's starting to support wayland,that's cool!​
Let me tell you how to config it!​
1.Make sure that you had already installed the graphic cards drivers.​
2.Add the user to video group.​
# pw groupmod video -m username​
3.Set seatd.​
# pkg install seatd​
# service dbus enable​
# service seatd enable​
4.Install xfce and labwc(A window manager that supports wayland)​
# pkg install xfce labwc​
5.Set a display manager​
# pkg install sddm​
# sudo service sddm enable​
(I don't use lightdm,Because it still doesn't support wayland now.)​
6.Reboot​
# reboot​
(If sddm doesn't work,you can use the "startxfce4 --wayland" command to start the wayland session of xfce after rebooting.)​
7.Enjoy the xfce with wayland,Thanks!​
