RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description Gerd Hoffmann 2019-08-22 10:44:06 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1744452 +++

Description of problem:
Enable wayland support for qxl-vga

# cat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules 
# disable Wayland on Cirrus chipsets
ATTR{vendor}=="0x1013", ATTR{device}=="0x00b8", ATTR{subsystem_vendor}=="0x1af4", ATTR{subsystem_device}=="0x1100", RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-disable-wayland"
[ ... ]

While being at it: we should be able to enable wayland for cirrus in RHEL-8.2

cirrus depends on the next drm kernel rebase though,
specifically it needs this commit ...

    commit ab3e023b1b4c9887c9f0f761b47f3f0516bd3434
    Author: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel>

        drm/cirrus: rewrite and modernize driver.
        [ ... ]

... and a few followup tweaks (all in upstream kernel 5.2).
Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2019-12-06 20:02:12 UTC 
building this now. I can't test at the moment, because my workstation no longer allows choosing cirrus as a video card in virt-manager.
