What is driver mode?
In the mobile app’s settings, there’s a setting called driver mode. What is that and what’s the difference between Direct and virtual?

In general you wouldn't change this unless you ran into a compatibility issue with a particular VR title. Technically the driver modes use different code paths in SteamVR, the "direct" mode interface uses the "Oculus" code path and "virtual" mode uses the "Vive" code path.
