OK, maybe it has something to do how I am starting sway and the applications. Please let me know what's the correct and accepted way and I will try with that. Currently I simply boot into the command line, login as root, load the graphics kernel modules, then login as user, then "sway&" eventually "sway -d &> out.txt". Then I login over ssh from another computer and start a particular application. As I mentioned, gtk3-demo can be opened this way, the mouse and keyboard works fine and I can use the application. Firefox briefly opens a window then dumps core, any other application I tried either can't find DISPLAY (kwrite) and exits or seems to be working but doesn't display anything (xclock, uxrvt). Please let me know what's the supported way of starting sway and I will check mpv and alacritty. Thanks GrzegorzJ
