Of course it doesn't work, since it runs in its own shell and export takes care of children, not parents, sheesh!

I have been pasting the export/mkdir/chmod into the console, instead.

So what's the canonical way to add that to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc, if that seems more appropriate? Or how else to meat those preconditions for weston-launch?

Adding my user to the already existing "input" group got rid of "Error opening device /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied".

strace revealed another error, "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" in weston.ini couldn't be found, going with just "de" causes silence on that front.

Much of the (attached) strace output suggests things go their way, but then:

Creating and `chmod 0700`ing /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 did not lead to a successful run.

The very end:
