Dear Alpine users,
does anybody of you use Sway?
I tried to install Sway by this
[instructions](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Sway).
Without installing elogind nothing starts with the error of no detected
session.
Upon searching I found hints to install elogind as necessary requirement.
However now, after installing and setting elogind to be started on boot
(without further configuration), I get blackscreens.
Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
Best regards,
Jan

You need to be part of the video group in order to run a wayland
compositor. elogind will handle this for you if you use a manager like
sddm, otherwise you should make sure you are in video group yourself.
You can do this with `addgroup $user video`.
