Also, I disagree with your general statement. As long as you can set the preferred resolution on all your screens in the environment where you spend the most time (which is X and will be X for some time still before Wayland fully takes over), how exactly this is done is an unimportant implementation detail. But graphics features have a bigger impact, because if a feature is not there and an application or game has a hard requirement for it, you can't run that app/game at all.Last edited by Gusar; 23 May 2015, 07:18 PM.

Well that's good news. Hopefully we can see a majority of users switch to Wayland as default within the next few years.
