Steam is invisible with hardware acceleration on

[thelabcat]

Devuan Excalibur, third-party XLibre repos, proprietary NVidia drivers. If hardware acceleration is enabled for the interface, it is invisible. The buttons still work and my cursor changes to match them, but I just see my desktop behind where the window must be. Going into Big Picture and then leaving it again fixes the issue, until Steam restarts.

Logs?

How to obtain?

Steam logs I think I can find, but there's like eight of them and I've never been able to correctly guess which one was for what front end component of the experience.

Your log file for the Xserver should be at /var/log/Xorg.#.log where # is a number.
I don't use Steam so I'm not sure about the logs for Steam.

Xorg.0.log
Xorg.1.log
I notice some NVidia driver errors. I have a GeForce RTX 2060 super. I experience a thing where the desktop seems to stop and restart two or three times at login, and that may be related. I also don't have any real display settings (everything just says "default" with no options). I don't know if these should all be separate issues or what, because they all seem potentially tied to broken NVidia drivers. On top of that, there is the new release coming up with improved driver support...

This is not XLibre?

[thelabcat]

The xlibre package is installed, the xorg package is not.

[NexusSfan]

Weird, on the log which uses XLibre there isn't any errors.

[thelabcat]

I have no idea what to do.

[NexusSfan]

This is probably an issue of the Xserver or Steam. It's probably a Steam problem.

[thelabcat]

Well, Garry's Mod also has no graphical acceleration, although I will have to test if that is xlibre or Devuan's fault.

[thelabcat]

Switched back to the original X server, and everything is working again, even my wallpaper. It would not set to anything but the default with XLibre. So, all of these problems are XLibre, sadly.

[thelabcat]

Should I file all these problems as separate issues? I seriously think it might all boil down to Nvidia support, but then again it might not. I guess I should wait till this next release comes to the Devuan 3P repositories, eh?

Probably. And maybe even file these bugs in the XLibre Xserver repo
