Current setup:
Scargarth/Styhead: Raspberry Pi 5, Qt6.8 Demo
MIPI DSI: Waveshare 8.8" with the following Device Tree Overlay
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,8_0_inch
Problem observation:
When running, Qt6 QML UI demo, MESA-LOADER fails to load a library with the following error:
MESA-LOADER: failed to open drm-rp1-dsi: /usr/lib/dri/drm-rp1-dsi_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
Mesa uses software rendering softpipe as a fallback of V3D failure.
Qt6 UI performance is very sluggish and poor due to software rendering.
I expected Broadcom Renderer V3D to be used as Qt backend renderer and not softpipe.
Additional info:
HDMI works well and use the correct V3D renderer since it doesn't require mesa to load rp1-dsi_dri.
The library drm-rp1-dsi_dri.so on Raspbian OS bookworm but doesn't exist anywhere else, I couldn't find any sources to build it.
Solution attempt #1:
I tried porting drm-rp1-dsi_dri.so as binary blob from Raspbian, but it had older llvm, libsensors.. etc dependencies that's harder to satisfy.
Solution attempt #1 : Fail.
Solution attempt #2:
I updated mesa to latest and greatest: 24.3.0-rc2 with the following dependencies added:
Build deps: wayland-protocols llvm python3-pyyaml python3-pyyaml-native
Runtime deps: llvm wayland-protocols
Packageconfig -= dri3
packageconfig += gallium-llvm
Solution attempt #2 was a success.
Now mesa-loader doesn't complain about missing library anymore and drm doesn't reference that library.
Qt6 Demo works with full performance, very responsive and RP1 DSI works flawlessly.
Action point:
If you deem my solution useful to upstream, I'm happy to create Pull Request.
