No extra displays in XR mode
Hi,
I use my VITURE Pro XR glasses in nested GNOME Shell mode, my base system is Linux Mint MATE. I couldn't get more than one display when I turn on the XR effect. I tried to add virtual displays with the Plus sign, and they have been added on the settings screen under the sign, but nothing happened. I can see only one main display, as before. Also, the drift is awful, the screen is moving to the left with significant speed. How could I fix it?
Hi, if you wait a minute, do the virtual displays stay listed in the UI? Also, have you looked at the GNOME Displays dialog (the same one that opens if you click the Rearrange Displays button) to see "where" the displays are? If you're not disabling physical monitors, it may place the physical monitors "between" your virtual ones, which would leave a large gap between.
For the drift, you can try having the glasses set down on a flat surface when you plug them in, and leave them there for a minute before putting them on. I would also recommend going to the VITURE firmware update page and making sure you're on the latest firmware, and follow the calibration instructions there. If the drift continues, you may want to contact VITURE and see if they have any other suggestions, or if they'll consider offering a replacement.
@lissizza I just faced a similar issue on Arch Linux. I just installed a fresh Gnome setup to test this. And it worked just fine. However I wasn't able to add more screens. As I got more and more desperate I even installed xorg. This made it even worse. Now it don't even said it added the screens. However, after i got back to the wayland session - with xorg installed, but not used - it suddenly worked. Maybe that's a push in the right direction.

Its worth noting here that to be able to connect the glasses on that page, I first had to disable the xr driver xr_driver_cli -d
I've ran into an issue with exactly the same symptoms on Arch and the problem was a missing Pipewire plugin for gstreamer (gst-plugin-pipewire package on Arch). I think this package on Debian-based systems is called gstreamer1.0-pipewire. The missing dependency was fixed in the meantime for AUR package.
