    no replies yet. I tried some stuff but it still pulls X stuff in. I am not knowledgeable enough for this for sure.

    Last I tried fb backend it fails due to some pointer initilzation trying to connect to an X server... but now that they moved to the master branch, they could have fixed it......or I am doing something wrong too...
    I'll try to modify the arch/aur git PKGBUILTS for efl elm and enlightenment and see how far i can get. I don't want to run it nested.





    Scimmia who is a member in this forum might be able to provide some help.

    I'm going by my build scripts:
    Build EFL, elementary, enlightenment
    --enable-wayland --enable-egl --with-opengl=es --enable-fb --enable-drm to EFL
    --enable-ecore-wayland to elementary
    --enable-wayland-egl --enable-wayland-clients --enable-wayland-only --enable-wl-fb --enable-wl-x11 to Enlightenment

    You need to export
    E_WL_FORCE=x11 (to run nested)
    or
    E_WL_FORCE=fb (to run on Framebuffer)
    last I tested, Framebuffer didn't work as it tried to connect to an X server still, but that was before.

    There's also
    E_WL_FORCE=drm for Kernel mode setting systems, but I don't think thats finished yet? most KMS systems provide a virtual /dev/fb0 anyway for now...

    As for stability E17 and E18 seem rock solid for me. It's missing stuff (The daaaaaammmmnnnn File manager) but it is a great DE. Also if you find stuff missing post them on their bugzilla.
