Why do i get “Permission denied” errors from using Weston/Wayland

I have built a Linux system with Buildroot (2021.05) to run on a raspberry pi 4. My graphics stack include using mesa (vc4, v3d, kmro), Wayland / Weston with a DRM back-end. Also installed kmscube, which runs perfectly with the rotating cube reporting a frame rate of 60fps The main application to be run in Weston is a wpewebkit application. So far, the application runs but without any hardware acceleration. The reported frame-rate of the embedded browser is about 5fps. When i exit from the application, i see the following messages displayed on the terminal atomic: couldn't commit new state: Permission denied repaint-flush failed: Permission denied atomic: couldn't commit new state: Permission denied repaint-flush failed: Permission denied atomic: couldn't commit new state: Permission denied repaint-flush failed: Permission denied ...... My system is setup to bypass any login prompts and start as root by editing my inittab file. When i run the who command, i get nothing on the terminal. If i run the command whoami, i get the output root. Can someone point me to why i am getting the "permission denied" errors from Weston / mesa.
