I am having the same issue here.
I have the same issue, and i see a cursor in the black "desktop".
My theory: SteamVR looking for Windows via X11 and talks to the XWayland, which only gives back other "X" windows, which are typically none..
Guess they need to migrate that functionality to use xdg-desktop-portals instead of directly talking to X.
same issue here steamvr doesnt have support for xdg-desktop-portal
1 year later, same issue here. Would love to have this feature working
there is experimental functionality for this but it isnt very good, only shows 1 monitor, and it doesnt let me interact with my desktop
Nothing extracted yet.
Describe the bug
Steam VR launches with no issues after I installed KDE Plasma desktop. However, I cannot use the deskotp/winow overlays. It only shows one of my 3 monitors, and when I click on it, while the mouse does work and I can see it move on the desktop when pointing at where the display should be in steamvr, there is no display of the desktop. I already have the latest version of the mesa drivers installed.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
I expect to be able to use the desktop and window pinning feature that I can on windows, as this is currently the main thing keeping me from ditching windows entirely
