Wayland Server#

Internally, WayVR uses Smithay compositor.

Launching external apps inside WayVR#

To launch your app externally:

DISPLAY= WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-$(cat $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayvr.disp) yourapp

or (in the most cases):

DISPLAY= WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-20 yourapp

Setting DISPLAY to an empty string forces various apps to use Wayland instead of X11.
