Oooook. Figured out a couple of things: 1. The aforementioned system-wide setting allegedly turning off fancy scrollbars doesn't work 2. When setuid is enabled for /usr/bin/weston it apparently can't read the file it creates in /tmp So it's working now when I turn off setuid. In a window running inside Unity that is. I can get it to start in a VT when setuid is set, but then launching apps doesn't work. I get "Error opening file for reading: Permission denied" (right after listing the path of the socket). If I turn off the setuid the mouse doesn't work when I start weston in a VT, and it makes unity crash as well. Is this expected behaviour? Not the crashing obviously, but that weston can't read the sockets it creates when setuid is on (and it's running as a normal user)? I can get it to run properly in a VT by first running "sudo bash" and thus making it run as root. But I presume this isn't the way it's supposed to run? Does look mighty smooth though! So silky smooth. gnome-terminal, gedit and rhythmbox don't work though. Not sure why. Nothing interested is printed in the VT for me to see after I kill weston. <div class="gmail_quote">2012/4/19 <<a href="mailto:darxus@chaosreigns.com" target="_blank">darxus@chaosreigns.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div>On 04/19, Rune Kjær Svendsen wrote: </div><div>> Thanks for the tip.
