Issue Description

<Describe your issue / question / feature request / etc..>

I am currently running RealSenseNodeFactory using a custom launch file. When I run this custom launch file, either the RGB image or the PointCloud gets published, but not both. This issue only occurs when I run the setup on my Galaxy Book Ion2 laptop. The exact same settings work perfectly on my desktop without any problems. realsense_image_and_pointcloud_error.webm

I have attached a video showing the issue in detail. Could anyone provide guidance on how to resolve this?

Please let me know if there are any mistakes or missing details on my part. Thank you for your help!

Hi @Poodlee Are you setting initial_reset to true in your launch to reset the camera hardware at launch, please?

Is color able to be published if you set enable_color to true (even though it is meant to be enabled by default).
