Sway doesn't start on nvidia-390xx

I tried on tty, sddm, and lightdm. nothing work, But when I use in terminal emulator, a window titled 'wlc-x11' opens and shows sway desktop.

mmdamin@mlz ~> sway

Warning: You must load nvidia-drm with the modeset option on to use the proprietary driver. Consider adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your kernel command line parameters.

The line:

02/21/19 14:21:30 - [main.c:71] Using output 0 of 1

only shows when I run sway in terminal emulator. In tty, I get a thing like terminated SIGBUS.
what's wrong?

Re: Sway doesn't start on nvidia-390xx

Which version of sway?

AFAIK the latest version isn't supported by nvidia...

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
