Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I can't seem to run any proton games (NFS:Shift or Assetto Corsa) via steam. I have Nvidia GTX 1060, running nvidia-driver-515.
I also have an onboard intel GPU.
Running /.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/bin/vkcube, shows the cube spinning.
Please help :(
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- install ubuntu 22.04
- install updates and enable latest nvidia proprietary driver

- Launch game with proton (latest proton, not the experimental one)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Steam output and reproducing the crash with the listed Ubuntu, Nvidia, and Proton setup. Compare the successful vkcube run with the failing game launches; done would require identifying the cause of the Xinerama-related DxvkError and confirming that Proton games launch without it.
