Anydesk is unworkable when connecting to the machine with XLibre session instead of XOrg one #1287

25.0.0.X

Describe your issue

I'm on CachyOS with NVidia drivers.
I set up XLibre via the script provided for the Arch systems (https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x86_64/README.html), version 25.0.0.12
I seems that I have no problems using it so far generally, but when connecting to the machine with Anydesk, I can successfully initialize the session and see the desktop, but:

  • On the client Anydesk machine (which connects to the XLibre machine) I can only see the initial "snapshot" of the desktop screen upon connection, but any updates to the screen are just not happening. Only thing I see is the mouse pointer, I can move it and click it, and it even changes something on the remote machine, but any changes are just not reflected on the Anydesk screen.
  • I have 2 screens, when on Anydesk I click on the 2nd screen, i see absolutely nothing, not even some black screen (looks like the program couldn't even fetch anything regarding the 2nd screen).

When I move back to XOrg's packages, Anydesk works again fine.

Steps to reproduce

  • Replace the current CachyOS XOrg packages (from the cachyos-extra-v3 repo) with XLibre ones with the provided setup script for Arch systems. Toggle the "Ignore ABI" parameter.
  • Run XLibre X11 session and open the current version of Anydesk
  • Try to connect to that machine from some other machine

What did you expect?

A working Anydesk session
