Since checkout 5bfce83dc4cddfdbb9f4bef06a26dbfe525c2838 sway at version
1.8 fails to start.  GDM's log says:

The previous error message is not quite right.  I still had
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE enabled.  The log file now has:

Simon,

Yikes, that sounds like an annoying problem.

Based on the crocus_dri name, I think you might be experiencing a known 
problem. Fortunately, there is a fix [0] awaiting review.

Best,
Jack

Thanks to roll backs and generations it can't be that bad when things
don't work out as expected.  Commit
0be7838105806819f4586ec9130382a66a22880e fixes this.  Sway's back and
finally I can use Gnome too with proper rendering.

This bug can be closed. 

Cheers
Simon
