--- Comment #2 from Darxus <darxus at chaosreigns.com> ---
Today:

<intgr> Hi, I'm using the Arch Linux packages of Weston 1.0.5. When I launch
weston with DRM backend, my mouse and keyboard don't work -- I can't switch
back to a text terminal or do anything else. Any ideas?
<intgr> The only thing that seems to work is Ctrl+Alt+Del
<soreau> intgr: Perhaps a permissions problem?
<soreau> intgr: Are you using weston-launch to start weston drm backend and
have your user part of the weston-launch group?
<intgr> D'oh, my bad, I was just running weston and not weston-launch.
<soreau> intgr: Generally speaking, you only want to run weston directly if
you're using the x11 backend
<Darxus> intgr: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wayland#Usage_2
<intgr> Thanks
<Darxus> It would be nice if it did something other than make your system
unusuable if you run weston instead of weston launch on drm.
<intgr> Yeah
<Darxus> Is there a reason not to make it exit when it doesn't have access to
keyboard / mouse input?
<intgr> Having mouse only wouldn't be terribly useful either :)
<daniels> Darxus: distinguishing between hotplug with devices coming later, and
couldn't add any devices, is really hard
<Darxus> daniels: Ah, that's unfortunate.  Any thoughts on how this failure
mode could be improved?
<krh> we can detect weston trying to run on kms without weston-launch though
<daniels> Darxus: not coherently at 8pm on friday
<Darxus> krh: That sounds useful.
<krh> yeah, somebody should do that :)
<Darxus> Hehe.
<soreau> krh: thanks
<Darxus> krh: I suppose somebody should at least open a bug.  Want me to?  For
weston to exit when run on kms?
<krh> Darxus: that sounds good
