In my experience not starting seatd means your input won't work but
I haven't previously seen any gpu detection errors. I guess your user
has to have access to the devices in /dev/dri so maybe check the
permissions.
The latest version of the port (25.11.20260220) has an updated rust
drm crate and shouldn't require the render-drm-device hack anymore.
Does gpu acceleration work on your machine in other applications?
Which GPU are you using?
