I want to get a working Wayland setup with a (multi-user) graphical login. When I set my old system up ($DEITY knows how long ago) I seem to remember a page on setting up X, and all sorts of stuff. Now, you seem to get dumped at working tty1 prompt, and then the *helpful* documentation JUST STOPS. It doesn't even point you at anything! (Yes it points you at the portage page about how to maintain your system, but that isn't much use if you can't DO anything with the system...) I've found the page on Wayland, but it just says "set this use flag and install two packages". Where's the documentation that tells me what I need, and how to set it up, please ... Cheers, Wol
