This might be a nvfbc bug. +### AMD/Intel root permission +When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor the program needs root permission (to access KMS). +To make this safer, the part that needs root access has been moved to its own executable (to make it as small as possible) and a GUI sudo prompt is shown to run this executable as root.
