My issue is as follows: I had access to old oculus cv1. I remember using it with steam vr without bigger issues on windows years back.

Today i wanted to dust it off on my proxmox install (its debian 13 running KDE with some extra steps), and it seems theres no way to connect the hedset with steamVR app? App stands upp, but asks for headset to be plugged in.
It is in, orange light slowly flashing if my face is not in the headset, but no new screen is detected, and no power gets to the displays themselves.

Why cant steam VR "read" or even detect, oculus CV1 without a wrapper app at all?
