So I was playing SuperTuxKart, I noticed the game didn't exactly fit my screen so I clicked the "Fullscreen" button in game after that is was uglily stretched across my monitor screen I couldnt maneuver my mouse to it for some reason, i closed it with taskmanager after that my window manager was being weird and dmenu wasn't in the position it was supposed to be etc. So then I rebooted and after that when I tried to open an OPENGL application it would just show weird colors. This is or what was alacritty (runs on openGL, same goes for any other openGL application. my neofetch
Now wait I have an nvidia mobile gpu and a desktop amd gpu??? Well that's because I have a desktop amd card connected to my laptop so that I can have multiple monitors at high refresh rates (im currently typing on one of said monitors), when I disconnect the gpu from the laptop OpenGL works fine so it's probably an issue with my AMD gpu that's causing OpenGL's wacky behavior.this is what I used for connecting my laptop to that gpu It's probably just gentoo that this a problem on howver I haven't tested it in other distros. Please help me find a solution |
