Same issue on Debian Testing + KDE X11, SteamVR 2.1.4, Mesa 23.2.1-1, Kernel 6.6.1

This looks like it could be a duplicate of #639?

Same issue with 2.1.4

[BUG] Linux SteamVR 2.1.4 crashes right after launch

Describe the bug
Upon starting Steam and then SteamVR (2.1.4) the folloing error message appears in the SteamVR window: "SteamVR Fail - Oh no! SteamVR has encountered and unexpected problem. Restart SteamVR (500)". Restarting SteamVR does not fix the issue, neither does restarting Steam or the PC.

To Reproduce

  1. Start Steam
  2. Turn your Valve Index on
  3. Start SteamVR
  4. You will see the error message

Expected behavior
I expect SteamVR to start without showing an error message and to play games in VR

Additional context
Before the update to 2.1.4 SteamVR was working and I could play VR games.
