Could not match drm and vulkan device - asahi

I was trying out a few WMs and wanted to switch back to sway, which was working fine previously, and then these messages came up after trying to login to sway, and then it kicks me back to the greeter. These 4 lines are displayed briefly after choosing sway and entering my password.

\[wlr\] \[render/vulkan/renderer.c:2540\] Could not match drm and vulkan device
\[wlr\] \[render/wlr_renderer.c:199\] Failed to create Vulkan renderer
\[wlr\] \[render/wlr_renderer.c:279\] Could not initalize renderer
\[sway/server.c:255\] Failed to create renderer

I can log in with niri or mango, but not sway.

M1 Macbook Air, Fedora 44, greetd. Anything else I could post to help let me know. Thanks in advance.

Probably better off asking in the Asahi area.

Thank you. I didn’t realize Asahi was under Our Neighbors. I’ve reposted there.
