Handheld Daemon – v4.1.7: Fix newer gamescope black screen

Handheld Daemon v4.1.7 – Gamescope Black‑Screen Fix 🎮

What it does:

A lightweight daemon that lets your Windows handhelds run smoothly on Linux—fan control, TDP tweaks, controller emulation (gyro & back buttons), RGB remapping, and a handy gamescope overlay for perfect scaling.

What’s new in v4.1.7:

  • Black‑screen bug squashed – The dreaded blackout that only appeared when `STEAM_BIGPICTURE=1` is gone. Gamescope now checks for Steam first, so non‑Steam setups stay untouched.
  • Safety sanity check – Added a quick verification step to make sure the fix doesn’t break anything else (still under watch).

Quick notes:

  • No new dependencies; just works on any distro already running Gamescope.
  • Fully compatible with AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel GPUs.
  • Still installable via Arch, Fedora, Bazzite, etc., and welcomes localization contributions.

Enjoy border‑less, perfectly scaled gaming without surprise blackouts! 🚀
