"llvmpipe" renderer being used instead of GPU accelerated rendering, Debian 12 (octopus) #32

Closed 02tz closed 3 months ago

02tz commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug As the title explains, Debian Bookworm is using the llvmpipe renderer by default, and this causes software to experience heavy stutters and framedrops. Various attempts to enable hardware rendering have failed.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run graphics intensive app (firefox, steam)
  2. Play video or scroll through element heavy page
  3. Lag and tearing is seen

Expected behavior Hardware rendering is used and graphics aren't hellishly slow

Have you tried the steps suggested in the README? https://github.com/ading2210/shimboot?tab=readme-ov-file#gpu-acceleration-isnt-working-how-can-i-fix-this

Also, it would be helpful for you to send the contents of your Xorg.0.log file at /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Yes, and I have also tried installing non-free drivers and firmware to no avail.

Also, it would be helpful for you to send the contents of your Xorg.0.log file at /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Sorry if I include irrelevant or insufficient information, I don't know too much about xorg. (or the real issue at hand)

It seems setting the driver from "modesetting" to "intel" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf has fixed the issue even if it is not directly stated with inxi -G. There is no lags in Chromium and KVM, my ChromeOS Flex virtual machine runs flawlessly now and Thorium is faster than ever. Closed?
