crashes on 'Start' with Manjaro 4.1.16-1 + blender 2.76 git + DK1

[RMKD]

Is the readme describing 2.77 as a requirement a typo? (the download page you link to only has 2.76 versions). I tried with both the released 2.76 and a build from git. Both crash when I click start.

I'm getting rotation information correctly through openhmd and have the DK1 running as a secondary (unmirrored) display.

here's my error log - not sure if it could be helped on the python side, but any additional readme instructions would be great.

The README is just "future-proof", but you need a development version from git (or builder.blender.org) or the upcoming/non-existent 2.77.

Try including this line in your $HOME/.bashrc: export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/nvidia-346/libGL.so" (change the path accordingly to your system)

Also I'm assuming you have the Oculus 0.5 runtime installed, and set the Display Backend to Legacy in the Addon Preferences (since you are in Linux this is the only supported backend for now).
