Rouven Czerwinski 4fa003dff1 sway: request SCHED_RR via RTKit 
This tries to connect to DBUS to request RTTimeUSecMax from RTKit and
than changes the scheduling policy of sway to SCHED_RR. I tested the
impact using hackbench, with this patch I don't see any cursor
stuttering while running the following hackbench command:

  $ hackbench -f 100 -l 100000 -s 100000

This also fixes the "your compositor is too slow"-warnings from
libinput.

The rtkit feature is currently auto, so if one of the SD-Bus libraries
is installed we will select it. However we will fail graciously with
only a debug note if we can't reach RTKit and won't touch RLIMIT_RTTIME
in this case. Users who don't want to have DBUS within sway itself can
disable the feature.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

Compiling from Source

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre2
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

* Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install

On systems without logind nor seatd, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
