Хм, а почему у тебя старая версия sway? (0.15.0). В репозитории же 0.15.1

I don't know if you managed to solve your issue, but I just installed sway on Gentoo (with OpenRC too of course) and it works out of the box after I set the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable according to the Gentoo wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Weston (section "Usage").
PS: Don't run the command chmod o+rwx /dev/**/* on your system. This will give every user access to all your devices! You should instead make sure what devices you need and add your user(s) to the respective groups. (For the record, I am part of the following groups: adm wheel floppy audio cdrom video usb input users portage utmp)
