DaVinci/Fusion UI won't be displayed properly on Linux Mint
Posted: Fri May 30, 2025 1:16 pmHey,
I just installed Linux Mint on my main workstation(a laptop with an additional attached display via HDMI - the resolution of the both don't match; and I want to use the attached screen as my main display which I am able to setup in Mint which works fine in general) as dual-boot with Win 10 after testing the workflow for some time on another system which worked pretty good.
Now I have installed DaVinci and Fusion 20 using the MakeXYDeb tool https://www.danieltufvesson.com/makeresolvedeb which also worked fine and was able to install both apps without any problem.
But when I now start the apps the UI isn't displayed properly. The UI from DaVinci won't show up it at all and freezes the current desktop but the UI won't be displayed. I was however able to click into the top task bar which reacted making it possible to go into the prefs for example. After some tinkering around I was also able to change the setting for the Primary Display from HDMI-1-0 to eDP-1 which than displayed the UI properly on the display of the laptop.
Fusion displays some sort of UI but nothing properly at first until I move the UI over to the laptop screen.
I haven't done any work in the apps yet and I don't think everything works properly yet in this configuration. I have the impression that the cursor is slightly of in Fusion from where I click but have to do more testing here.
My laptop has an inbuild graphics card from AMD as well as a dedicated one from NVidia 3080 and I'm using the latest driver which is available for Mint 570.133.07-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
Has someone an explanation for this behavior and a solution on how to get it working properly?
