Wayland isn't simple drop-in or replacement for Xorg. Some things that many Xorg
users depend on, Wayland is simply not designed to do:

Thanks for the links.  I have done, some of my own research finding, among other things, a "Live DVD Wayland Demo" on Sourceforge, called "Rebecca Black OS".

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/rebeccablackos/

It was, by using the Live DVD that I found the issues, attempting to use Wayland on one of my Laptops (an old HP).  (By the way, it even includes Wayland's own Demonstration, called Weston). 

Thanks again!
