[2.0.32] [Linux host, Mac client] Steam remote streaming mouse/kb inputs don't work if host monitor is off

When I use Steam's remote streaming feature to run Factorio on my Linux desktop (amd64, X11) and stream it to my macOS laptop (arm64), it works fine if the host's monitor is on, but if the host's monitor is off then inputs (mouse, keys) don't seem to work properly. Clicking the mouse anywhere on the startup screen brings up the changelog, and the only key that seems to do anything is "escape" (which closes the changelog).

If I turn the host's monitor on then inputs begin working, and turning off the monitor breaks them again.

The log file (attached) doesn't have much, but the behavior is easily reproducible for me, so if there's additional debugging somewhere then I can re-run with that enabled.

Thanks for the report however I'm not sure there's anything we can do about this. This sounds like a Steam issue that they would need to address.
