It's not a restriction; more like the lack of a feature. On X11, the X server injected these additional resolutions itself. On Wayland, there is no X server; each compositor (e.g. KWin and Mutter) is its own display server. So it would be up to each individual compositor to do this, and there's no reason why they can't. There are two ways it could be done: 1. Each display server implements the feature itself--or not--according to how its developers thinks it should be implemented 2. A standard Wayland protocol to govern such a thing is written, and then any and all compositors that care to would implement that protocol according to its spec To my knowledge, the KWin developers have not expressed enthusiasm about implementing this feature in KWin. Feel free to flie another bug report explicitly asking for this as a feature request, but don't get your hopes up. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
