TTY display failure about dwl

Uncomment CFLAGS += -DXWAYLAND in config.mk and run make clean; make.

So simple. Thank you, sorry I didn't thoroughly check the source code first.

What I get next however I think is a death sentence for dwl on my machine:

glamor: No eglstream capable devices found
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Unsupported maximum keycode 569, clipping.
>                   X11 cannot support keycodes above 255.

Namely that xkbcomp reports my device is not eglstream capable, which I believe based on the age of the GPU and the fact my opengl compatibility looks like OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 20.2.3

Well, I think that how to enable XWayland should be documented in the README.

If your GPU can run sway, I don't see why it shouldn't run dwl. Those glamor and xkbcomp errors don't even seem related. xkbcomp has nothing to do with OpenGL, and if you look up those 2 errors in a search engine you will find them separately in various unrelated issues.

Have you tried with other terminals? The sway wiki recommends termite as a Wayland-native terminal, maybe that will work since it's not based on OpenGL.

@GregCM I get the same error every time I start river. Don’t worry about it.

I just noticed that I actually get those same glamor and xkbcomp errors myself when I start Xwayland in dwl. They can be ignored.
