@LivingLinux : on GPU acceleration in firefox – note there are two versions available from the repo: firefox and firefox-esr. From what I gather, firefox-esr is supposed to have GPU support; it reports not supporting WebGL when visiting aquarium, so I’ve no idea and have not tested it further.
Note that the system supports two different GL implementations: OpenGL and GL-ES. Glxinfo will always report using softpipe. Glxinfo-es2-wayland or whatever the alternative is, should report using the PVR GPU, however.
This is interesting and confusing. Regular firefox will be using the GPU when visiting the 3D aquarium demo; it’s impossible to get to 500 fish with 5+ fps framerate on a slow 4-core PC under softpipe. You can check with “cat /sys/kernel/debug/pvr/status” command while the demo is working.
By the way, you’re doing the board a disservice if you’re testing acceleration with glxgears, try glxgears-es2-wayland instead.
