I'm trying to make a screencast (Screen capture XSHM) in OBS Studio on my Fedora 31 computer. However it shows only black screen with mouse cursor on it. I also tried "Window Capture (Xcomposite)" however in this case the "Window" drop down shows only few application windows, while what I need (terminal, browser) is missing. Other screencasting tools like SimpleScreenRecorder and Vokoscreen experience the same issue (note that I don't run them simultaneously).

There are some advices in Internet how to solve this problem via NVidia Control Panel. However my laptop does not have NVidia graphics card. There is only a built-in Radeon Vega card.

This is my system configuration:

The workaround that I have found is in disabling Wayland.

Open /etc/gdm/custom.conf and uncomment line

WaylandEnable=false

After the computer restart everything works fine.
