Fatal error received in: "video_driver_init_internal()"

I'm attempting to get this working -- that said, one note should be made first off -- I have to run docker as root. It's a long and complicated story, but yeah. I'm also on NixOS.

So, I did the basic commands, and then it starts doing what looks like generating smth (counting from 0% to 100%), then at the bottom, says this.

retroarch-1  | Fatal error received in: "video_driver_init_internal()"
retroarch-1 exited with code 1

And after a moment or two after this,

sunshine-1   | [2024-02-09 01:48:27] FATAL: /opt/gow/wait-x11: Gave up waiting for X server :0
sunshine-1 exited with code 11

Furthermore, after I run it again with that user,

Anybody able to help, by chance?

Are you trying to share the host Xorg session? You might have access control enabled; you either need to mount the Xorg cookie (usually under ~/.Xauthority) or you can disable access control using xhost +

Fatal error received in: "video_driver_init_internal()"

This seems a different issue; could it be that you have the proprietary AMD driver installed? Can you revert back to use the open source Mesa drivers?

On a different note, the GOW script is getting rusty and unmaintained; I'm working on Wolf https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf as a replacement for this stack, would you be interested in trying it out? We are also working on a nix package instead of using Docker to bundle Wolf if that's something that might be of interest for you games-on-whales/wolf#53

I'd be interested in trying it out, sure! That said, I would prefer to use docker, due to organization reasons, as backwards-thinking as it may seem. However, if I must use the native version, I'll look into it. Thank you for the response.
