Bug ID: 431981
Summary: Regression: VR headset is detected as display on a
Wayland session and keeps disconnecting and
re-appearing
Product: kwin
Version: 5.20.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bribb...@disroot.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
My system permanently has a Valve Index VR headset attached. Where on Plasma
5.20.5 it wasn't used as output by both the X11 and Wayland session (as it
should), this changed in 5.20.90. Now, on the Wayland session, the output seems
to be used as a regular monitor and keeps popping up and disappearing every few
seconds. This causes the session to re-arrange the monitors constantly and
makes the whole session unusable. This does not happen on an X11 session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach a VR headset to your PC
2. Start a Wayland session on Plasma 5.20.90
3. Note the displays constantly re-arranging, and see the VR headset being
detected as a monitor in the display settings
OBSERVED RESULT
The VR headset is detected as a regular monitor but instead of being able to
just disable it (which shouldn't be needed in the first place), it keeps
disappearing and reappearing every few seconds. This causes the monitors to be
re-arranged constantly.
EXPECTED RESULT
The VR headset to be completely ignored.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Alpine Linux edge
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My specific headset is a Valve Index, I'm not sure if this matters.
