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!
