Black screen In VM w/nvidia

bug
I’m trying out the new Nvidia-Deck build and I’m wondering if it’s my (admittedly non standard) setup or if there might be something else going wrong.

I’m running the image in a VM with my RTX-4090 passed through. I’m able to run and install the image, but when I boot up it goes straight to a black screen.

I’m able to drop into a TTY though and log in via the console.

Windows and other Linux distros boot fine this way, so I’m thinking it might be an incompatibility with gamescope, but I’m also seeing a few other people reporting black screens with nvidia so maybe it’s something else.

I’ll try the non-deck image a bit later and see if that works. This is for an HTPC like setup though, so I’d love it if the deck image worked.
