I've tried everything and every time I failed there were errors suggesting that it was a problem with Nvidia's proprietary drivers. But I will try again today.
Juanito:
Ah - nvidia, that complicates things - perhaps it’s a question of loading the correct nvidia kernel module..

The buzz around Wayland makes me nervous. Xorg does everything I need, plus my favorite WM (fluxbox) and many of my must-have apps are Xorg-only at this point. If Xorg were to disappear tomorrow, I'd be in a world of pain. But I do realize that someday I may have to switch. I just hope that day isn't soon ;D
It is some solace that as long as there is TCL, there is a way to run Wayland with as little freedesktop/systemd/other-ballast as possible.
I do have two questions for the TCL developers, if you'd be so kind:
1. If Xorg were to soon be officially abandoned by its developers (maybe it is already), but majority of applications can still run on it, what would be TCL's plans regarding Xorg? Keep using last release? Switch to TinyX or something similar? Too soon to tell?
2. I was surprised to see that weston depends on wayland-protocols as well as on Xorg-7.7-3d. If weston is a Wayland compositor and Wayland is meant to replace Xorg, why does weston depend on Xorg? Forgive me if this is a stupid question with an obvious answer.

I endorse the question.
And it is also curious that xwayland does not have xorg as a dependency.
