On a system with a i5 4690k CPU and a GTX 1080 GPU: To fix this, run: sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+ep /usr/bin/gsr-kms-server if you have installed GPU Screen Recorder. However this doesn't work if you want to start replay at startup for example. The executable is called "gsr-kms-server". To make this safer, the part that needs root access has been moved to its own executable (to make it as small as possible) and a GUI sudo prompt is shown to run this executable as root. When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor the program needs root permission (to access KMS). Use MPV to play such videos, otherwise you might experience stuttering in the video if you are using a buggy video player. Videos created on AMD/Intel are in variable framerate format.Recording a single window doesn't have this issue. This happens even when using ffmpeg directly. Recording the monitor on steam deck might fail sometimes.
