Hi, this thread was about starting without outputs. I've already forgot if Weston is able to start without outputs, Armin may have implemented that as part of his GSoC 2016. Weston can start without any input devices if you say in weston.ini that it is ok (require-input=false). It's not the default, because if Weston for some reason simply failed to open existing input devices, it would leave the user with no other "input" than the power and reset buttons, aside from remote access. If you wanted to run Weston without both input and output, there is the headless backend we use in the test suite. Thanks, pq
