How can I enable AR glasses for gamemode when plugged in?
I have an AMD system configured with the steam deck image of Bazzite and it’s awesome. I have it as my living room PC and want to be able to use my AR glasses when my kids are on the TV.
How can I configure gamemode to use the AR glasses as the primary monitor when they are plugged in? I made them the primary monitor in desktop mode and it still defaults to the TV. I have an LG C1 plugged in with HDMI and RayNeo Air 2 glasses plugged in with USBC.

idk if you specify an output for gamescope session if it will fallback to default if it is not available but it is something you can try (but be prepared for potential breakage since we dont have a viable test)

Steam Deck images have it disabled due to causing issues with MangoHud. It will be added back when these issues are resolved. You will have to rebase to the Unstable branch. More information can be found here.

by "still defaults to the TV," do you mean in game mode?
if so, that might be related to not really being able to choose the display target in game mode

so be prepared to undo that if it doesnt work over ssh or while your glasses are connected
Thank you! This seems to work pretty well overall. I have to unplug them and replug them in for it to register sometimes, but it always reverts to the tv when unplugged.
thats great to know! glad it works and goes to tv as a fallback
and yeah replugging would be needed since it tries to use the glasses output on boot and it does not exist
so it falls back to the tv
Thanks again for the quick help!
