More specifically, this requires a wlroots-based compositor. So it should work on, e.g., SXMO Wayland edition (formerly known as SWMO) or Phosh, but not on, e.g., Plasma Mobile or GNOME Shell. (For Plasma Mobile, one will probably want to use Krfb, though that's a GUI and not particularly mobile-friendly. But it is what works with kwin_wayland. For GNOME Shell, one will probably want to use the corresponding GNOME tool.)

Hmmm, I am using Phosh....
I didn't find enough information so far to begin to troubleshoot it, and since I use VNC to the PPp so much I need to find some time to do that.

hi everyone, thanks for all the great comments. recently got my ppp/mobian to be useful, lots of patience needed but worthwhile. All software is up-to-date.
Cannot get  wayvnc server to output anything else except a gray screen on any (of a number of) vnc viewers on remote desktops. As described above, mouse moves and controls ppp's GUI but screen is just gray. Tried -DRv and combinations thereof on wayvnc command. No error messages appear. Tried also resetting color depth on viewers (presumably ppp is 24-bit). Anyone got this to work yet? Config files for wayvnc perhaps? I have not tried yet with headless output but I don't see why that would make a difference.
