Hey guys, I’m running into a bit of a problem and could use some help. I recently dug out my Vive for some VR gaming, but I’ve hit a roadblock.

Whenever I fire up Steam VR, I keep getting a “SteamVR unable to get DRM lease” error, even on X11. I gave the beta version a shot, and it worked for a day, but now the problem’s back, and I’m fresh out of ideas.

I also asked around in the Nobara Discord, they had the idea of using some arguments __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia or even dri_prime=1 but nothing.

Here’s my setup, I know it’s a bit unconventional:

• OS: Nobara Linux 38 (KDE Plasma) x86_64
• Laptop: XPS 15 9530
• Desktop Environment: Plasma 5.27.9
• Window Manager: kwin
• CPU: 13th Gen Intel i9-13900H (20) @ 5.200GHz
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q / Mobile (4.6.0 NVIDIA 535.113.01)
• GPU: Intel Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics]
• Memory: 32GB
• Steam Version: 1700160213

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: One side effect is also that I always have a black XOrg window that I can’t close, I can’t find the PID for that program.
