weston-launch and virtual terminals

Hello,

For some time I have had FBCON and the VGA console disabled in the kernel,
as kmscon works really great. However, it seems that the traditional
in-kernel console is a requirement for weston-launch; without it, it will
claim that it "must be run from a virtual terminal". I've tried several
combinations of commands, putting some sudo's in the mess, but they all
segfault.

$ sudo openvt -v -c 5 -- /usr/bin/weston-launch --tty=/dev/tty5
--user=kalrish -- --log=weston.log

When looking at weston.log:

I'm using Mesa 10.0-rc2 on ArchLinux, with a Radeon HD 3200. However, I
don't think that libraries are the problem; it works when I try on the
default kernel, on an agetty-console.

I think that it should be possible to launch a DRM-backed Weston with just
$ weston-launch --tty=/path/to/tty
with an optional sudo prepended and the --user option to indicate which
user to login to.

As a note, I cloned the Weston git repository and did
$ git grep -n 'set mode failed'
src/compositor-drm.c:606:                       weston_log("set mode
failed: %m\n");
Looking at the code, it seems it is failing at drmModeSetCrtc. I think it
is because I don't have enough permissions? Well, I'm pretty sure I had put
enough sudo's, but anyway:
$ groups
wheel video audio systemd-journal kalrish weston-launch
$ ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 226,  0 Dec  8 21:06 card0
crw-rw----   1 root video 226, 64 Dec  8 21:06 controlD64

I'm sorry I can't be of more help; I'm not a developer. I'm not even sure
if this is intended behavior; if indeed it is, please excuse me. Thanks for
your time, and, if you need more details, please ask. Best regards,
Kalrish
