Description Harris Landgarten 2017-02-22 21:00:00 UTC

I just built a new root volume with systemd and gnome-3.22. gdm working fine with nvidia gl but after sign in with the jump to my user session I get the gnome
something went wrong dialog. journalctl show the following:

gnome-session[1540]: X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

If I eselect opengl = xorg all runs as expected. If I eselect opengl = nvidia after I am running all seems ok but gnome-control-center will not start. gnome-control-center is fine with opengl = xorg.

turned out the issue was user not in video group. There is still issues with xorg-server and nvidia-drivers that are documented in other bugs.
