## Gamescope does not render in this VM
Everything was tried (2026-09-25); don't spend time on it again:
- virgl (default): no Vulkan, black.
- `--vulkan --amd` (venus on the host 780M, RADV): gamescope and Steam run,
but virtio-gpu rejects every framebuffer gamescope makes ("Cannot import FB
to DRM ... not supported for scan-out", AR24 and XR24, also with
`--force-composition --disable-layers`): black. KWin crashes on venus
("Illegal command buffer"), so Plasma freezes too.
- nested gamescope with lavapipe (`vulkan-swrast`): refuses to start, lavapipe
lacks VK_KHR_present_id/present_wait.
- Other hypervisors (VirtualBox, VMware) have no Vulkan at all.
Check gaming mode (Steam's settings, HDMI-CEC section, refresh rates) on the
real Steam Machine. The VM covers everything else.
(Also after any re-apply that includes the conversion.)
No suitable Vulkan (venus is unstable with the host NVIDIA driver). After
