Yes, you need /dev/dri for graphics acceleration to work, and wayland needs at least basic graphics acceleration, as I understand it. So missing/broken graphics drivers is the issue on two of your machines. > I am trying to get Sway working on three computers. > > Computer 0: > No /dev/dri/ directory. > The sticker on the computer says AMD Radeon Vega Graphics. > neofetch says the GPU is AMD ATI 05:00.0 Picasso. > > Computer 1: > No /dev/dri/ directory. > neofetch says the GPU is NVIDEA GeForce FX 5200. Both NVIDIA and AMD have a history of not always having free drivers/firmware/etc for their graphics hardware. > Computer 2: > Has a /dev/dri/ directory with devices that are writable by my user. > noefetch says the GPU is Intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset.

That's consistent with my assertion, then, at least. :) So it sounds like you have sway configured correctly, but some of your hardware may be incompatible with linux-libre. live well, vagrant --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRlgHNhO/zFx+LkXUXcUY/If5cWqgUCYGT6jgAKCRDcUY/If5cW qsZPAP4iwLxuPGaCLE2iDPQf5d47ekENbGeTW513NdR/uF4G7AD/QIEd8W4BpP6e 6MsAx17bBTqBso6S/E4QP1YsXOskCgo= =+7Js -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
