--- Comment #4 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at igalia.com> ---
OK, I see on https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WPE:

"The device files /dev/dri/renderD128 and /dev/dri/controlD64 have to exist and your user need write access to them (On most distributions this means ensuring your user is member of a group named "video")"

Two problems here:

 * /dev/dri/controlD64 does not exist at all on my machine. What is supposed to create this?
 * My user is not in the video group, but that is required to write to /dev/dri/renderD128.

This is bad. How is this really supposed to work? I don't think changing group membership should be required to run WPE.
