Opening KiCAD schematic/board editor and selecting the "Accelerated graphics" rendering engine fails with an OpenGL error:
Could not use OpenGL, falling back to software rendering
Could not create the main OpenGL context
Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install pkgs.kicad
Open schematic editor
Open Preferences -> Preferences -> Schematic Editor -> Display Options
Set "Rendering Engine" to "Accelerated graphics" and apply
Expected behavior
KiCAD should be able to use OpenGL accelerated graphics to render the contents.
Additional context
I'm using an AMD RX 6800-XT.
Other OpenGL-based application (like glxgears) works fine.
Accelerated graphics in KiCAD worked fine when I was using 9f918d616c5321ad374ae6cb5ea89c9e04bf3e58 of nixpkgs, but broke when I updated to 693bc46d169f5af9c992095736e82c3488bf7dbb in my Nix Flake.
