Linux: vkQueuePresentKHR segmentation fault on VK_EXT_acquire_xlib_display swapchain

Not sure if this is the right subforum, feel free to move it.

In Monado we use VK_EXT_acquire_xlib_display to get a surface, create a swapchain etc. for implementing direct mode for VR.

Relevant code

This works fine up to (including) nvidia 450. With 460, 465 and 470 we get a crash in vkQueuePresentKHR.

However the same driver works with SteamVR’s direct mode, so it can’t be completely broken, it must be something Monado does or does not do.

Presenting to an xcb window works fine with those driver versions and a very similar code path, only presenting on the direct mode swapchain crashes.

Is there any way to get at least debug symbols on linux?

Is there anyone from NVidia who would be able to help or shed light on this?
I would also be very interested in getting this figured out.

Cheers

Hello @fred.sund1 and welcome to the NVIDIA developer forums!

I cannot make any promises since this seems to be a rather specific application issue, but I will bring it to the attention of our Vulkan experts.

Thanks!

Hello @MarkusHoHo ,

thank you very much!

I’m not part of the Monado dev team but it seems like a very active and ambitious project and also seems to be the only real open source VR/AR runtime and it would be amazing if it could get some help to work on Linux!

Cheers!

same here with 520.56.06
