Hi,
Good thinking, I have not, when I get some time I will swap back to X and see how it works, its a simple config thing as I recall.

I am sure it will all work out in time LOL.

Happy Friday, gmarkham!

For your information, our tech team is still investigating the issue. So, we thank you in advance for your patience. I will let you know as soon as I receive an update.
Hey gmarkham,

Im using debian so i cant really test it for you, sorry, but these steps should work, 3 different ways you can try it:

To switch from Wayland to X11, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the Command Line

Open a terminal and type the following command: export GDK_BACKEND=x11
Press Enter to execute the command.
You can now switch to X11 by logging out and logging back in.

Method 2: Editing the Configuration File
Open the file /etc/gdm3/custom.conf in a text editor as root.
Uncomment the line WaylandEnable=false to disable Wayland.
Save the changes and restart your system.

Method 3: Using a GUI Tool
Search for and open the “Login Window” settings tool.
Click on the “Security” tab.
Uncheck the box next to “Use Wayland” and check the box next to “Use Xorg”. 4. Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.
Log out and log back in to apply the changes.
Hi embroider5169,

You’re always on fire with your incredibly helpful tips and advice! Thank you for providing step-by-step guidance on switching from Wayland to X11. Your support is, as always, greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,

thanks for the insights into the whacky wayland switcharoo I have been doing other things but will likely try flipping it sometime soon when I get a lull in real life fun :)

Appreciate the inputs and service, pretty nice for a beta offering in my book.
