Need help in desktop mode and gaming mode switching on steamdeck after a bug fixing
So I had a problem of green lines on my video wallpapers in the wallpaper engine for kde. Not just that plugin but when i used to record the screen, the video showed horizontal green lines over a monochrome video.
I asked chatgpt, and the solution was to switch to x11 from wayland. There was a problem to get into the login screen after logout so I edited some files. I made a file for sddm config and installed x11 using rpm-ostree. The green lines issue is fixed and now the videos show properly.
But now whenever i boot my steamdeck, I get into desktop mode, no autologin and I can switch between gaming mode/x11/wayland but once I'm into desktop mode, I cannot switch to gaming mode or vice versa. I get stopped at the login screen. I deleted all the sddm config files but I don't want to switch to wayland, I want the plasma desktop oneshot to be x11 and have switching between gaming mode and desktop mode normal again.
I don't mind booting into desktop mode first though. As i have my steamdeck docked all the time.
Sorry I forgot to mention but I think the video bug was because I was extending my steamdeck display to a full hd output on tv.
