first error was fixed with #1548

Second error - are you running that from a VT?

[holy-elbow]

second one is just included because i was testing the backends and it had a different error

im not sure how #1548 fixed my issue is the arch repo version not updated?

The linked PR is not in a Gamescope release yet. It should be in 3.16.2 whenever that is tagged and released. Arch picks up new versions pretty quickly.

gamescope --backend drm only works from TTY/VT (virtual terminal) so if you're running that nested on Plasma or Gnome then that error is expected.
