[BUG] Dashboard appears transparent, but is functional
After looking at the steam diagnostic, realized that vdpau was thinking i had an Nvidia card (which sure, i used to have, like two years ago)? Set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME and VDPAU_DRIVER to their appropriate values for AMD from the Void docs (see https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/graphical-session/graphics-drivers/amd.html), and its not an issue anymore
> echo $LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME
radeonsi
> echo $VDPAU_DRIVER
va_gl
New steam diagnostic: steam-diagnostic-20260616_2.txt
When you say "and its not an issue anymore" do you mean that the original report is no longer an issue, or just that the Steam diagnostic no longer thinks you have the wrong graphics card?
Hello @okawo80085, can you take AMDVLK out of the mix and check how it behaves?

The latter
Hello @okawo80085, can you take AMDVLK out of the mix and check how it behaves?
Will do after work today
Nothing extracted yet.
Describe the bug
So, when i start SteamVR, my dashboard is always transparent, but functional
If i blindly find and switch to desktop view, it is also transparent, but if i try to click something it does affect my actual desktop, all the other invisible buttons work too if i can find them
Tried messing with drivers, nothing, tried messing with env configs, nothing, tried different SteamVR versions, nothing, cant find anything wrong in SteamVR logs
Really not sure what else could be wrong at this point, unless im blind, which eh, fair, but im honestly out of ideas at this point
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior

But if i try to display VR View to take a screenshot it looks like this:
Additional context
The headset im using is Bigscreen Beyond 2e, i had to patch my kernel for the display to work with SteamVR (fix from Linux VR Adventures Wiki notes on the Bigscreen Beyond headset, specifically the AMD patches), the exact patches can be found here:
https://github.com/okawo80085/void-packages/commit/36c75073fc3c11fde00d5d9bd0b361cf3bc5247e
Also worth mentioning that i have to run SteamVR with these launch options:
WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%Otherwise display leasing dont work on wayland
