GPU: Device is busy → When starting sway from KMSCON

[Zeioth]

If I try to start sway from KMSCON I get this output https://i.imgur.com/WSXtIbf.jpg

I assume KMSCON is using GPU acceleration by default which is preventing sway from starting.

I'm reading the man. What parameters should I use to avoid this behavior?

I ran into this problem recently. I managed to set the no-drm option in the kmscon.conf config file so that the console doesn't take control of the video card and then the wayland compositor can launch freely.

But I don't know if there's any other way to retain the drm and hwaccel settings but not have it conflict with the wayland compositor.

Thank you so much for sharing @dcompoze it actually works yay!!!
