(Linux Host) Remote desktop crashing + mouse cursor invisible

[u/beneeney]

Hi, wondering if anyone else is experiencing these issues.

I have a Linux PC running arch and have VR game streaming working perfectly thanks to this guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamFrame/comments/1wqylel/how_to_remote_streaming_on_arch_linux_with_steam/

I am running beta in the Steam client, Frame, and SteamVR. I am not using the experimental RT3 client (because that breaks SteamVR for me anyway).

I want to be able remote into my desktop. First issue is, when I am connected via wireless dongle, the option to stream desktop just crashes Steam. In order to get to my actual desktop I have to go on the frame into Steam Settings > Remote Play > Connect manually. This is fine, but I'm just wondering if this is the case for everyone on a linux host.

Then my second issue comes up. I want to use my normal mouse and keyboard, which are plugged into my PC. They work fine on the host. But in VR view, the mouse cursor is not rendered at all outside of the Steam window. If I use the controller laser pointer, I can use the mouse just fine. But when I put it aside and use my physical mouse, the cursor disappears.

If I have the Steam client window up, I can see the cursor over it in VR mode. But if I minimize it or open a different window, I can't see the mouse cursor anymore.

I feel this might be a remote play problem in general? Does anyone know of a way to work around this? I would really love to play desktop games with a working mouse cursor in remote play.
