​Actually in Linux wlc and I think also Weston recommend using setuid for
the compositor. It then forks and drops permission. All devices are opened
as superuser and then sent to the child process. This works fine for me
with tty and drm, however, libinput complains about devices not being
tagged as input device but they are opened successfully. I haven't looked
deeper into why...

As for X11, maybe this approach does not work and we need group permissions.
