way-displays can't run with Sway 1.8

[wdv4758h]

Not sure the patch should go to Sway or here. The way-displays will show error and exit with Sway 1.8. However, it works fine with Sway 1.7.

The logs I got:

This should have been resolved in #53

Please update to 1.6.2 (latest) and see if the problem persists.

add yourself to the input group to properly detect the laptop lid: Laptop Lid Not Detected - Permission Denied

I missed the old ticket. Everything works so well, makes me forget that I installed way-displays from AUR. Things work fine after update to 1.6.2. I also set the input group now.

Thanks for your work and quick reply!
