I'm afraid i can't get any more support from the AD Dev;
Can anyone pls comment on that part of his words above that i bolded & underlined?
I did attempt to remove nvidia-prime. Removal worked fine on Tower but caused a day-long calamity on Lappy, as detailed here; https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....3#pid41493. I have speculated about whether AD might work correctly if i used only the Nouveau graphics driver, not the Nvidia driver, in my Tower & Lappy, but i'm not prepared to bother trying (i want to use the Nvidia driver, & if AD can only work without it, then i will not persist with AD but instead stick with TV].
I remain interested in an earlier quote of his i pasted previously; "What currently happens for you (according to the logs) is that for some reason something is wrong with the XCB connection to your X11 server". I have no understanding of this, i don't have a clue what it means or how to test for it / fix it, but i've re-pasted it here now in case some future forum reader might discover it, understand it, & have an idea how to solve it.
Quote:"i have now tried setting tests up again with the same result: It works just fine. Because Maui is not a official supported distribution I cannot invest more time in that issue. I am very sorry.
It was Maui 2.1 with Plasma 5.8.3.
I do not think that it makes a difference if its 5.8.4. Linux does not relay on the underlying desktop environment. The versions and configuration of the X11 Server components matter, such as xrandr, xfixes, xcb-shm, etc. Are these also backported versions?
Do you have a multicard setup like on PCs with optimus for on-the-fly GPU switching? If yes, please try it on a single card without switching. Just a wild guess about your glxinfo output.
Maybe Nvidia Prime does work half and half. It is known that this can make trouble in some softwares. Of course it would be nice to know if thats the problem. So please ping me back as soon as you have tried. Unfortunately I do not have the hardware here to test it.".
