Once the update gets published, I think this shoudl be fixed. Mind testing tomorrow?

[Leopard1907]

Same issue with 1.7.8

Any other logs you have around? Does it happen when compiled locally?

This happens when trying to launch retroarch using vulkan with the following hardware. I believe this may be a common issue for anyone using a mobile combo graphics solution. I tried using the flatpak installer as well as building from source.

Graphics:  Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 530 driver: i915 v: kernel 
           Device-2: NVIDIA GM204M [GeForce GTX 970M] driver: nvidia v: 460.91.03 
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 driver: modesetting,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,vesa 
           resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 970M/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 460.91.03 

➜  retroarch git:(master) ./retroarch
X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)

This can be (partially) resolved by editing retroarch.cfg and changing vulkan_gpu_index = "0" to vulkan_gpu_index = "1

However, cores may try to use the wrong vulkan driver resulting in retroarch crashing. This can be resolved by specifying the correct vulkan driver when launching retroarch. For example:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json ./retroarch

Ultimately, I wasn't able to get vulkan working correctly with the flatpak installer, so I

• built from source
• ran sudo make install from the build directory
• added VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json to /etc/environment
• set the PRIME profile to NVIDIA (Performance Mode) in NVIDIA X Server Settings
• rebooted
• reverted to vulkan_gpu_index = "0" in retroarch.cfg (changing the vulkan driver affects the GPU index)
• set video_windowed_fullscreen = "false" in retroarch.cfg (was still crashing without this)
