Hello Ashish, I just followed your steps but now when I try to start up sway, hikari, or wayfire (installed it too), I get a DRM device error message: [backend/backend.c:304] Failed to open any DRM device I do have a GPU on this system, not a good one, but still do have one: GK107 GeForce GT 740 Am I missing something here?
