system info

Hi, today I have installed sway-1.6 for testing and found that it does not work as expected. At the first start, the display shows the desktop wallpaper in the form of compressed lines. But if I switch to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then back to Alt+F2, then sway loads as usual. Although it still does not work correctly. Flickering appears on the screen.

I ran sway-1.6 in debug mode and encountered some errors (see attachment).

There are no problems with sway-1.5.1-r1.

Hi, setting the environment variable WLR_DRM_NO_MODIFIERS=1 fixes the error for me. At least I don't see the error in the debug log. If I understood correctly, this problem is related to the nouveau driver.
