For the sake of testing I then ran guix package -i libdrm && mpv --vo drm my_vid.wmv which hangs the console (not the pointer but can't cancel the process) and Im unable to switch tty. I also tried changing slim to sddm and setting wayland instead of X11 but that didn't help. I also tried to define my-slim-service and add the nouveau driver in case there's a problem with the intel graphics but I weren't able to write it correctly, this didn't work: > (define (my-slim-service) > (mlet* %store-monad ((config (xorg-configuration-file > ;; #:drivers '("nouveau" "vesa") > #:resolutions '((1920 1080) (1366 768) (1024 768)) > )) > (startx (xorg-start-command > #:configuration-file config))) > (slim-service #:startx startx))) .. (services (cons* (xfce-desktop-service) (my-slim-service) %desktop-services)) Any ideas, anyone?
