Set 'Launch Options' as DRI_PRIME=1 VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command%.Create '/etc/X11//nf' with the below config.I cannot currently change this, but perhaps it will become possible once the display issue is resolved.

SteamVR also wants to select 90Hz as the operating frequency, and I would like it to run at 144Hz. My understanding is that this would also explain the Failed to acquire xlib display error.

I suspect SteamVR is not loading using the dGPU (despite my best efforts with Launch Options) as there is a line in the logs (see below) referencing the AMD RADV RENOIR, which I believe is the iGPU. It works fine on Windows, so there is no hardware issue, they USB-C port I am using (to DisplayPort adapter) is directly connected to the dGPU. I am currently using DRI_PRIME=1 VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command% as Launch Options within Steam, and running X11. There is no issue with movement of the headset and controllers as this can be demonstrated as functional within the display of VRCompositor. I am running an all-AMD laptop (Asus G513QY) and have tried many troubleshooting suggestions, but cannot get SteamVR to display on my Valve Index, VRCompositor always shows on my laptop display instead.
