New installation - NVIDIA, Gnome and Wayland

Hi.  I just did a new installation following the installation guide.  I have installed the NVIDIA 381 driver and installed Gnome 3.24.  When I start a session using "Gnome on Xorg" everything works fine, however if I log on to a Wayland session using just the "Gnome" option on login....the mouse and keyboard become very slow and laggy....is there some additional config I need to do to make it work properly in a Wayland session?  Thanks.

Nope, that's just how it is. It's not working well. There's a way to fix the stutter but I forgot where to look for that. After you fix the stutter, you will run into a more serious problem in that Xwayland, which is the wrapper allowing X programs to run in Wayland, is not working with nvidia's OpenGL. When you run X programs, they will be using mesa's software renderer for OpenGL.

Wayland still on its early days and aint that reliable. Thus so most DE as KDE, Gnome wont "fix" weirds behavior for now!
