      hi new here, i have searched but the only thread i found with issue like mine did not have a answer

      i have a acer aspire 5742 laptop running ubuntu. I have installed retropie, i cant seem to get any video to display on any of the systems apart from the psp and the n64 they work fine, but all the others show no video just a blank screen. the audio is fine and i can play the game just cant see anything. any advice would be great thanks

        @johndagun Switch the video driver in RetroArch to sdl instead of what is default now (wayland or opengl ?) and it should work.
