Switched from Nvidia to AMD, rebased - black screen on games
Hi, I've recently switched from my 3070Ti to a 9070XT. Originally I was using Bazzite KDE Nvidia "version".
I rebased to KDE AMD stable, but was having some graphical issue. I then rebased Bazzite to the AMD testing branch, now I can boot to the KDE environment.
I have a new problem:
- I boot a game, it runs but I'm left with a black screen
- if I alt-tab or press Win, I can see the game in the background running as expected
- if I switch back to the game, it goes back to the black screen
Is there something wrong or something missing from rebasing? I'd like to avoid reinstalling everything as downloading 200gb+ of games is a huge pain in the ass with a slow connection.

So, I've been testing something and I'll report it here, don't know if this will help anyone
I have a Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED 34" UW 175Hz monitor, and I saw there are a few problems with game mode and 21:9 format:
- when game mode is off, monitor is limited to 120Hz, but it works fine in 16:9 and 21:9
- when game mode is on, monitor goes to 175Hz but I got weird graphical bugs and couldn't see much
I then restarted once and it fixed it by itself... now running in 21:9, Game Mode on @175Hz with VRR Control ON, no black screen on games
currently on version testing-42.20250505
