Description: sway 1.6 fails to start with error.

Up to sway 1.5.1 (included) I had a working sway+wlroots working wayland compositor.
After upgrading to sway-1:1.6-1 + wlroots-0.13.0-1, sway fails to start with this error output:

--------------------------8><----------------------------------------------------------------

This PC has only one video card:

lspci | grep -i vga

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] (rev ef)

I start sway from the tty but I've also tried starting gdm and from there select a sway-session without luck.
If i select i.e. the wayland gnome session, it works ok.

To complete this information, I own a very old laptop (core 2 duo) with only a intel video card and sway 1.6 works there as expected.

Any help is welcome as I use sway as my main desktop environment.

Additional info:

* package version(s)
sway-1:1.6-1 + wlroots-0.13.0-1
kernel: 5.11.15-zen1-2-zen

Steps to reproduce:

Simply upgrade from sway 1.5.1 to the new 1.6 and try to start it.
This task depends upon

Apparently this is a bug in libglvnd, see this upstream issue:
https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2869#issuecomment-821972323

I have downgraded sway+wlroots, since I have no time fiddling around with the issues in libglvnd-git.

Thx Max!

Installing libglvnd-git seems to do the trick for me and sway-1.6 works in my machine.
Hope this helps to others.

Antonio.

@lordheavy, @felixonmars: Can we apply a fix for libglvnd [1] as discussed in  FS#70490  as it seems all AMD users are affected AFAIKT?

Can confirm that installing `libglvnd-git` fixes this issue on my laptop with Intel HD 630.

Patch applied in libglvnd 1.3.2-2. Please try the new package.

Thanks I will try the fix tomorrow, it should fix the problem.

The commit which fixes the issue, seems to fit my experience with the bug, i.e. two machines with one internal and external GPU (both Nvidia... :-( ) seem to be affected, while the one with only an internal GPU works.

So I updated all packages on all machines, the notebook where I have an internal Intel GPU with an additional Nvidia GPU seems to be fixed.

Unfortunately the other tower PC does not seem to work, I still get the following messages, and a black screen:
```

```

And the error messages continue (also for DP-2). Another thing is that on the machine where it does not work, I initially have loaded the Nvidia driver, and unload this and load nouveau to start sway.

So before the upcoming sway update (1.6.1) I decided to test it once again, since in the meantime many related packages have been updated, and voila it now works.

Although the desktop feels a bit slower.

So unfortunately I have no idea what fixed the problem, but for me the problem has been fixed. Thanks a lot.
