  • WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC_GAMMA: set to 1 to use legacy DRM interface for gamma control instead of the atomic interface
  • WLR_LIBINPUT_NO_DEVICES: set to 1 to not fail without any input devices
  • WLR_BACKENDS: comma-separated list of backends to use (available backends: wayland, x11, headless, noop)
  • WLR_WL_OUTPUTS: when using the wayland backend specifies the number of outputs
  • WLR_X11_OUTPUTS: when using the X11 backend specifies the number of outputs
  • WLR_HEADLESS_OUTPUTS: when using the headless backend specifies the number of outputs
  • WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS: set to 1 to use software cursors instead of hardware cursors
