Collabora has introduced an updated version of the Wayland driver, allowing applications that use GDI and OpenGL/DirectX to run directly in a Wayland-based environment through Wine, without the need for an XWayland layer and freeing Wine from the X11 protocol dependency. Discussions are underway with the Wine developers to include Wayland support in the Wine Staging branch, with plans for a subsequent merge into the main Wine release.
The new version offers several enhancements inspired by discussions of the first version. It adds support for drag-and-drop operations and the ability to copy and paste via the clipboard between Wayland applications and programs running under Wine. The issue with switching video modes has been resolved. Since Wayland does not allow applications to directly change video modes, the driver now includes a simulation through surface scaling by the compositor. proxy server Wayland. If the video mode selected in Wine does not match the current screen resolution, the driver scales the content of the window to the size that corresponds to the required video mode through the compositor. server The driver scales the content of the window to the size that corresponds to the required video mode.
