can't launch swc using nvidia binary #37

Hello, I have a pascal based GTX 1080 on my arch setup using the proprietary NVIDIA binary driver (nouveau won't get firmwares for a long time). when I run swc-launch example, the output tells me it's running on /dev/tty, but there is nothing there. swc-launch velox replies:

running on /dev/tty2
[swc:libswc/drm.c:149] DEBUG: /dev/dri/card0 is the primary GPU
# find_driver: Trying DRM driver `intel'
# find_driver: Trying DRM driver `nouveau'
[swc:libswc/drm.c:291] ERROR: Could not create WLD DRM context
[swc:libswc/swc.c:128] ERROR: Could not initialize DRM

Is this due to the lack of support for this driver? If so, where would a good way to learn about how to implement this would be at so I may learn to help contribute one day to something like this (if this is the issue at hand). I'm trying to get into wayland, but I'm not too familiar with it right now.

EDIT: NVidia binaries do not support wayland, just learned about this. Sorry.

No, nvidia supports wayland, Velox and other compositrors doesn't support EGLstreams
