[SOLVED] weston.ini config file not found anywhere

I installed weston everyting seems to work, more or less buggy.
I was wondering, should be the weston.ini configuration file generated by default? or should it be created manually?
I'd like to customize weston at least little, if possible.

I would most likely prefer to start from the default ini file if there is one.
Is there a way to generate it?

It doesn't look like weston ships with a default config file. If it doesn't generate one when you start it, then maybe use one of the examples on the Arch wiki as a starting point.

Thanks for letting me know. I managed to copy the settings from there, and it's working.
But before I mark it as solved, can you tell me if there's a way to prevent weston from auto-closing due to inactivity? It logs me out after 5 minutes or so. I'm pretty sure that's a weston.ini setting thing.

I tried to look for "Presentation mode" setting, but to no avail.
I'm using xfce4 as my main desktop environment, and that setting "Presentation mode" works here, but not in weston/wayland session. (Because X11 and wayland are different things, but it shlould be a similar setting named differently)

Although it's supposed to fade the screen and not close you out, the idle-time is likely what triggers it .

If you set it to 0 it should not be triggered at all .
