Yeah it's flaky on Linux, too. Generally useless as well, since it is
unreliable, and you get random percentages of the players screen due to
different resolutions they run at.
It's a shame really, since it could be a very effective anti-cheat tool.
I don't know why you are having no luck at all on Linux, but I don't think
it's currently possible for it to work well, so I wouldn't bother trying.
