meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unknown options: "xwayland_eglstream"

Upstream removed/dropped some more things.

the ebuild for x11-base/xwayland-9999 needs to be updated to remove     (meson_use video_cards_nvidia xwayland_eglstream)

builds without it.

What DE?

It's possible e.g. x11-wm/mutter[video_cards_nvidia] aka Gnome is trying to pass that (just a guess). Afaik Gnome with EGLStream been pretty dead + semi-broken either way, it defaults to GBM last I know of unless using nvidia-drivers-470 (but that was so broken by now that I removed USE=wayland on the latest nvidia-drivers-470 anyway, so kepler users are forever on Xorg until they get new hardware). In theory mutter should work with nvidia without that USE nowadays but I haven't tried.

kde-plasma/kwin:5 had EGLStream support regardless of USE for the longest time (there may be an option to disable it but haven't checked), not sure for :6 nor if it favors GBM or EGLStream nor which works better.
Comment 4 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2024-03-20 03:58:26 UTC
(as for wlroots-based compositor, they never had EGLStream support excluding a fork so it sound doubtful they'd try to pass -eglstream for xwayland)

Then again at a glance I don't see how neither kwin nor mutter would be passing this, but it could be coming from some other component given I didn't really look how they start xwayland.
Comment 6 useless 2024-03-20 11:45:38 UTC
this is on wayfire/wlroots with nividia-driver


i had modified the .ebuild myself to remove the mention of eglstream....guess i just dont know what i'm doing and i'll leave that to you!



bonus: today a new nvidia-driver dropped, which fixes glx!

What do you mean? About fixing the live ebuild? Nothing until maintainer feels like looking at it.

Fixing 9999 ebuilds is never really considered a priority, if you don't want issues use a keyworded release version.
