The usual 8-bit and 10-bit formats have a lot of variations:
XRGB, XBGR, RGBX, BGRX, ARGB, ABGR, RGBA, BGRA
A particular display is likely to support multiple of these, and as we
need to allocate a buffer of a particular type to test it, we'd like to
avoid doing too many unnecessary tests.
If we go off on the assumption that a display device generally supports
a subset of format variations but otherwise support each variation
equally well - that is, if both RGB and BGR is supported, they will
either both succeed or both fail at any given time - then instead of
trying all formats, we can simply pick one supported format within each
format group to try. For example, XBGR2101010 and XRGB8888.
By being conservative in how many formats we try, we can aggressively
expand the list of candidate formats to handle odd hardware.
We can get rid of the the conservative aspect if KMS ever grows the
ability to commit-test a buffer format without allocating the buffer
first, allowing us to quickly test every format under the sun.

Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
