Yeah, Emacs GUI still requires X11 — despite being wrapped in GTK, it does a lot of raw X11 stuff.

There was some porting work http://emacs.1067599.n8.nabble.com/porting-to-Wayland-td326678.html but looks like it's not done/merged yet.

Apparently updating to xwayland 1.20 helps, according to the last comment in that thread.

https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-ports/tree/feature/xserver-1.20 ← the ports branch with the xorg 1.20 update

I haven't tested that, I've disabled xwayland completely.
If that doesn't help, that thread has my workaround patch that disables permission checks.
