Great to see that Wayland is working very well with KDE now!
On the minus side, I've just bought a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse (expensive but I *love* it!), which works marvellously on X11 but is quite laggy under Wayland. The screen pointer frequently stops while the mouse is moving. Is there a setting that would fix this?
As for the plus, the first one is that seemed to be the only obvious reason not to stick with Wayland.
Secondly, I tried Wayland because I was getting a failure on X11 with a webkit based program. It gave me an excuse to (re)try Wayland, and IT WORKED!
While that was marvellous, it made me wonder if there was anything I could do to get it working under X11. The error messages were
KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied Failed to create GBM buffer of size 800x573: Permission denied KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied Failed to create GBM buffer of size 800x573: Permission denied KMS: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Permission denied Failed to create GBM buffer of size 800x573: Permission denied Failed to create EGL images for DMABufs with file descriptors -1, -1 and -1
I found various reports of this on the interweb, mostly suggesting that it was to do with NVidia drivers (I have an NVidia Geforce GT 710 card), but clearly I've got a functioning version because Wayland found it. Is there any way to get X11 to use the same driver?
My system is using akmod-nvidia-470xx version 470.223.02. It does have a later version, 550.54.14, but this is "only" akmod- nvidia", suggesting it's not specific for my card?

I have two boxes running kde and X11 in F38 with nVidia GT 710 cards and rpmfusion 470xx drivers. They worked well until a few weeks ago when one box started reporting graphics resets in Kwin, which I posted about here. I'm still seeing them, usually with a quick autorecovery. I haven't yet tried nouveau.
But it has been my understanding that 470xx doesn't fully support Wayland. Today I tried a Wayland login, but was consistently returned to the login screen. X11 is still mainly ok. I'm wondering why Wayland is working for you.

Sorry to top post but I can’t help it. Just to fill the picture, I find wayland pretty much unusable. I’m on a very standard hardware, an hp probook with an I5 and intel graphic. I can login, and run programs, but window manager places windows where it feels like, except where program asks it to place it. Other small things not working, working wrongly or just missing. No good for anything else than evaluation. It should be more efficient than X11, but my measurements do not show any difference when running apps. I’ll stick to X11 until wayland becomes a tool and not a toy. Giuliano

I use Wayland every day on my laptop which has an Intel CPU and Intel graphics card. I'm not sure why it's causing problems for you. It might be helpful to file a bug report so that the developers can investigate the issue further. They may need additional information about your hardware, software, or Linux kernel to identify the problem.

Dunno if it's what's making the difference, but I'm running F39.
Hello, first of all you are using EOL (End-of-life) card (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3473/~/eol-windows-drive...)
Secondly, "akmod-nvidia" is the latest Nvidia driver but your card on the Nvidia website driver version is "470.239.06" so you can't use the Nvidia 5XX driver properly. And better Wayland support with Nvidia started as far as I know the driver. version 525. That's technically not KDE or Fedora KDE people's problem. The best I can say use open source driver or X11
About the mouse, I use the exact mouse and I have zero problem at Wayland.

Errr, really? Firstly that's talking about windows drivers, then it shows the 710A not the 710 I've got, and thirdly, looking for drivers for the GeForce GT 710 for linux, the latest one was released 2024-02- 22, which doesn't sound very EOL, though I s'pose it might "just" be a major bugfix. It's still not a 5xx series though.

Although I didn't look very hard, the mouse display pointer was the only problem I saw. Any idea of how good the open source driver is in this situation?

NVIDIA will be discontinuing the 470 series driver later this year: https://endoflife.date/nvidia

I feel like I'm asking the wrong questions here. I don't particularly want a 470 driver, just the latest driver. The nVidia website shows the latest version as 470.239.06, but that's later than what the Fedora repo seems to offer.
It sounds like what I *really* need is a 5xx driver, beyond 525 according to Onuralp, and perhaps just to use the 550 driver that's already on my system. The question is, will this drive the card?

No. Your card is too old. You'd have to upgrade your card to use newer drivers. If you get a Turing or newer (GTX 1600 or RTX 2000 or newer) card, then you can either choose to use the latest proprietary NVIDIA driver or the new Nouveau+NVK stack built into the operating system. However your current card is so old that it probably works reasonably okay with nouveau too. The troublesome cards where you *must* use the proprietary driver are the GTX 900 and the GTX 1000 cards.

Yes, I see now it's 10 years old! :=( I put my money into the processor (AMD Ryzen 7 3800X) when I bought this machine, I don't really need powerful graphics, the 710 might've been the most sensible cheapest option, I don't remember.
Is the newest 470 driver (239.06) likely to arrive in the Fedora repo?

If you "don't really need powerful graphics", then you don't really need the pain of a premium priced GPU for which fully capable FOSS drivers never exist, do you?

My recollection is that the GeForce GT 710 with driver built by rpmfusion provided non-gaming but TV-capable performance through VGA and HDMI ports at a less-than-premium price. It would be good to have a build of the recent update.

I have an old machine with a GT720 that recently quit working with the Nvidia drivers. I was pleasantly surprised that it finally was working well with the nouveau driver, which simplified updating considerably. I am presently running Wayland on it, and the main complaint is that I can't set where a particular window will open consistently. I also have a more recent machine with a much newer nvidia card, and there nouveau still hangs (unpredictably), so I am still using the nvidia drivers there, but I am using Wayland. I have both machines using F39 and KDE.

FWIW I tried to switch to nouveau, but didn't get a good result. instead of two adjacent windows I got only one default display, 1024 pix wide, and greyed-out config options. Fortunately I never lost all graphics and was able to restore the 470xx build with its original X11 settings. It's still notifying occasional resets. Maybe I'll try going round again...

I would assume it will be packaged eventually, but that will not give you wayland support.
Personally I moved from nvidia to amdgpu to escape from the need for these closed source drivers.
I was on a rtx3060 now on rx7800 and loving the improvement in driver support and app performance. I play games on rpmfusion steam.
I use f39 kde wayland as my main OS/DE. Also been testing f40 plasma 6. Both work well, except for the known windows placement issues.

You might want to consider getting a low-cost AMD graphics card, there are plenty of RDNA2 GPUs at around $100 now.
Alternatively, if your computer supports SAM (Smart Access Memory) or ReBAR (Resizable BAR) in the BIOS (or through a BIOS update for the motherboard), then an Intel Arc A380 is usually around $100 too.
Both will perform significantly better and get you out of the hole of legacy NVIDIA drivers that are going to EOL.

While looking for a new card to upgrade from a 710, I was finding that current cards were demanding a power supply upgrade as well

Not only a power supply upgrade but you may also need a better case to improve the air flow for cooling. I had a 850W supply but the case needed upgrading to have enough fans to push air through it.
But if you do not need gamer graphics pick a lower spec card.

I realise this is too late for the OP but for all but the most demanding graphics an internal GPU is still a good option.

In fact, consider upgrading to a Ryzen 5700G, it's socket compatible, uses *less* power, should cost very little, and has integrated Radeon graphics.
The end result should even save you on your electricity bill.

Plus you get the option of adding a GPU later if need be, which in turn will enable you to run PCI passthrough and run a Windows VM with real graphics drivers, e.g. for gaming. I used to do that but haven't needed it for some time now.
