Sorry for the extremely late reply, and I'm certainly not trolling (or at least not intending to).
I'm just having issues with Wayland, such as my password manager can't autotype, or even tell when its own window has been minimized. There's also no screensavers available (I still use a CRT monitor as gaming on an LCD makes me feel nauseated). So I was hoping to continue using X11 rather than switching to Wayland.
I personally don't mind some minor inefficiencies, especially since the Raspberry Pi 5 is much more powerful than the Pi 4, but so far when trying X11 on Bookworm on the Pi 5, it runs with terrible performance compared to Bullseye on the Pi 4. If there's any way to fix that, I'd love to know.
I'm glad to know X11 can support hardware acceleration on the RPi5 and multi-monitor. I'll try to tinker with it more soon, maybe I need to do more than just installing xinit and i3, which is what I did last time I tried.
I'm also not mixing up Wayland and X11, I've been using X11 for many years. I was just confused about why X11 couldn't support hardware accelerated graphics anymore, and was hoping for more information. Apparently I was misunderstanding what does and doesn't work under X11 vs. Wayland, sorry about that.
I wonder what I misunderstood though… What doesn't work on X11? Vulkan? H265?
