I can reproduce the problem on a Raspberry Pi 3B. Interestingly enough, running i3 in xserver-xephyr on that machine makes it display correctly, so the issue is not (just) a missing dependency. My guess is that there is some issue related to the graphics driver. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to use the “vesa” driver; Xorg finds no screens when I try. I haven’t yet figured out whether other programs are affected, too, or just i3. I can say that awesome and geeqie seem to work.
