Tested on current/amd64. Did: cd /usr/ports/wayland/wlroots/ && patch -l -p0 -E < /tmp/wlroots-hotplug.diff cd /usr/ports/wayland/wlroots/ && make clean=all clean update && make clean Applied and built well. Used a hdmi and vga to hotplug from the same monitor on a Sandybridge laptop. Both were usable at the same time. On a Ivybridge laptop with only hdmi, it also was able to hotplug. I also borrowed an old lenovo pentum laptop and was able to use vga or hdmi or both. I am looking to borrow a desktop or laptop with displayport to test. I'll email results if I get my hands on one. Secondary mice and keyboards needed a doas chown youruser:your /dev/wsmouse1 doas chown youruser:your /dev/wskbd1 respectively before starting a startsway.sh, disconnecting and reconnecting these did not work until logging out and back in again. I have these chown commands in my /etc/rc.local to have this applied every boot. This is expected behavior for now I think though, on mice and keyboards. This is quite an improvement, many thanks to matthieu@, volker@, and anyone else who worked on this behind the scenes!
