[SOLVED] DaVinci Resolve won't start (Arch with Sway)

I've been following the Wiki, trying to get Davinci Resolve to start on my new Arch/Sway system. My system is a AMD 5600G based with built in GPU

When I run the checker script: https://github.com/Ashark/davinci-resolve-checker I get:

DaVinci Resolve checker 1.6.2
Installed DaVinci Resolve package: davinci-resolve-studio 17.3-1
Chassis type: desktop
Installed OpenCL drivers: opencl-amd
Presented GPUs:
	Cezanne (kernel driver in use: amdgpu)
Error: unable to open display 
OpenGL vendor string: 

Unable to detect the OpenGL vendor string. Probably you are trying to use AMD Pro OpenGL while your primary GPU is Intel. Also probably you are launching script via ssh.

This despite installing the OpenGL driver etc https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=xf86-video-amdgpu and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amdgpu-pro-libgl/

I then tried `glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor string" | cut -f2 -d":" | xargs` which tells me "Error: unable to open display".

Is there some problem because I only have Sway and not some other DE???

When I run `progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve` I get the following, which I have no idea what it means!

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

You need to install  xorg-xwayland and reboot/restart sway for xorg clients/glxinfo to work.
