[Linux only] Switching from Wayland to X.org

When starting Drovio on linux, you should be prompted with the following message:





Currently, Drovio is supporting only X.org-based desktops since it uses multiple X.org extensions to deal with screen capture, input management and so on...
If you're seeing this message, it means that you are using a Wayland-based desktop and you will then have to fallback to X.org.

In order to switch to X.org:

Logout from your current session to reach the display manager screen
Click on the button dedicated to choosing the session type (generally a cog)
Select the 'on Xorg' variant of your desktop environment
Login
Start Drovio to check that the warning message is not showing anymore

Be sure we will do our best to support Wayland in a near future.
