  On 12.1b3, I've got a /dev/input/*, and if they're not chmodded correctly
you'll get that error.  I didn't start chasing wayland/sway again until I
saw some more recent chatter on the list, so not sure when that kicked in
(I might have moved from 12.0.x to 12-stable in prep for 12.1, for example).

  Like others, I've gone with the 0660-group-video, since that is what
drm-kmod had already had me set up, but you can kludge-test with 666 (it'll
go away after a reboot).
