Description Julian Sikorski 2022-05-02 18:06:15 UTC
Description of problem:
SDL2-2.0.22-2.fc35 defaults to wayland, which causes mame to crash hard on startup. While there are upstream bugs about this, mame is not ready for wayland:
https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx/issues/2416
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/5693

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.22-2.fc35

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install mame
2. run mame

Actual results:
Segfault

Expected results:
Mame runs

Additional info:
mame runs with -video soft or -video opengl, but window decoration is missing.

Comment 1 Julian Sikorski 2022-05-03 00:15:55 UTC
I have now managed to submit a PR for mame so that it defaults to the x11 videodriver on Linux:
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/9676
With this change mame can keep working with the default config if you decide to keep wayland the default.

The intent is to keep Wayland the default, as it's the default for several months: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/SDL2/c/adf5181d820ce35e08278903de99b3cc7b9d530c?branch=rawhide

Thanks for confirming. As you saw, the PR got merged and I am building a mame update including the changes from the PR.
