I'm trying it out on a live CD now that I've created with the script I'm attaching to this message. For some reason it's not working. Here are the messages I'm getting running the programs you've listed in the order you listed them: <a href="http://pastebin.com/xtaKP8nz">http://pastebin.com/xtaKP8nz</a> weston says the following: <a href="http://pastebin.com/rH7nDwvk">http://pastebin.com/rH7nDwvk</a> All of the programs appear quickly only to crash right after. I think I followed your instructions exactly. First I export the following environment variable in one terminal, and run weston: export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp weston then in another I export the following: export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp export GDK_BACKEND=wayland and run whichever program I want. This is in my .bashrc: export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 Not sure if it's related to the live CD somehow. It worked when I just fired up a clean live CD, installed your GTK backend and ran the stuff from there. <div class="gmail_quote">2012/4/18 <<a href="mailto:darxus@chaosreigns.com">darxus@chaosreigns.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="im">On 04/18, Rune Kjær Svendsen wrote: > Pretty cool Darxus!

Only thing I can think of that *might* be related is having another instance of weston running. I've seen some weird things happen related to that. Try running "killall weston" and then trying again. <div class="im"> > Would there be a way to get weston to run from a VT? That is, in full > screen mode? </div>Yup. weston needs to be suid root (or run from weston-launcher, which isn't included in v0.85). So: sudo chown root ~/install/bin/weston sudo chmod +s ~/install/bin/weston Then run weston from your VT. -- "Every man, woman and child on the face of this earth is at the mercy of chaos." - a maxwell smart movie <a href="http://www.ChaosReigns.com" target="_blank">http://www.ChaosReigns.com</a> </blockquote></div>
