:+1: on this one, same issue.
Fresh system install, vulkan drivers
The VR status window isn't currently aware of direct mode being enabled or not, so the "enable direct mode" and "disable direct mode" buttons should not be used; direct mode is automatically enabled where supported noted at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux#known-issues.
If SteamVR works and your desktop environment is not extended onto the HMD (you can move your mouse onto the HMD when in extended mode), then you're using direct mode.
direct mode is automatically enabled where supported
But it was supported, this is a regression.
Seems to be functioning again.
Nothing extracted yet.
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Direct Mode does not work, previous beta worked, gpu drivers did not change.
Stable does not function for me any more (error 306).
