Re: 3D acceleration
I’m using cwt’s latest Arch image, but the way I understand it’s the same as the Debian dev system, except minimal, so it makes it relevant?
I had the torched my previous installation, and flashed it from SD to NVME.
This time I want no garbles or stutters, I’m thinking, so no X11 anywhere as much as possible. For the login manager, I chose a TUI login manager called Lemurs which now boots me into Swayvm. It’s bloody fast, except the system still sometimes does the usual cwt Arch thing of randomly waiting after boot, so I still can’t show it off.
I ran a few tests. A cough nameless 3D game compiled for the system, glxgears, supertuxkart. And supposedly since I did not explicitly tell systemd to boot me into graphical target, they came up garbled, line by line, like an X11 icon-heavy app in Wayland.
So I ran the suggested es2gears_wayland app non-synced. Wow 1500 fps etc. Looks flawless.
Wayland, eh?
I then tried again, but placed SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in front of the app in foot terminal. Presto, it worked. I tried it with supertuxkart from the repo. It reported the IMX hardware enabled and running.
To put simply, the acceleration is there, somehow, somewhere. Just it looks like whenever X11 is involved, stuff tends to break.
