Gnome 3.24 supports Nvidia's eglstreams as backend for Wayland display. I am using an Optimus laptop with config as follows. lspci | grep 'VGA\|3D' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 0a:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] (rev a1) When I login through Gnome (Wayland) session with Negativo17 (https://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/) nvidia driver, it uses Intel graphic card for rendering all applications. glxinfo | grep renderer GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile On the other hand using Gnome Xorg session, session starts using Nvidia card, and all applications are rendered using discrete card. Also, I made sure to enable nvidia-drm modeset=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm.conf I was looking through mutter.spec in http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/mutter.git/log/?h=f26, and I couldn't find any flags saying --enable-egl-device, required for this feature. Though I am not sure if that is where it is supposed to be changed.
@Florian Müllner, What else is missing from your perspective from adding this configuration option?

Looking at number of downloads of my COPR package [0] requested changes are quite popular among other users. Impact on other drivers(open source) is minimal.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This applies to f28 as well %configure --disable-static --enable-compile-warnings=maximum --enable-remote-desktop --enable-installed-tests --with-libwacom)
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This bug also applied to Fedora 28.
Created attachment 1445633 [details] patch that enable enable-egl-device
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
Xwayland 1.20 has EGLstream support as well, but depends on support from the Wayland compositor as well, so to have EGLStream support in Xwayland, it needs to be enabled in mutter first. Note that the patch in attachment 1445633 [details] seems to be missing the "BuildRequires" to install "egl-wayland-devel" and "eglexternalplatform-devel"
Created attachment 1482583 [details] patch that enable enable-egl-device, this is made from git master patch that enable enable-egl-device
In my COPR mutter with EGLDevice enabled works without changing "BuildRequires" so I think it's not necessary: https://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/cgit/mati865/mutter-eglstream/mutter.git/tree/mutter.spec?h=f28&id=97fefb7990706b5c4a7892a206fa875cfe756daf#n132 Link to the built package: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mati865/mutter-eglstream/package/mutter/
Please close if it is enabled by default in mutter in F29
I believe it's enabled now in F29, so let's close this.
