2 years ago The output of glxinfo shows that you are using the software renderer, which is obviously not quite as fast as a dedicated hardware render.
This indicates that you have not properly set up your graphics driver for the intel iGPU. Specifically the drivers for Xorg.
(kwin might be using wayland per default on your system, not requiring the GLX / Xorg drivers, which might explain why there is no issue in KDE plasma.)

2 years ago I don't know, how to fix it. I tried to use xf86-video-intel, but it didn't help me. So I returned to modesetting. I also tried to reinstall kernel, and xorg. Nothing changed

You can start by looking in the xorg-server logs at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and search for error lines with [EE].

2 years ago Zero errors. I had tried to install Glamor, nothing changed (logs also didn't change. I mean, zero errors). Also, I had installed intel drivers, and saw AIGLX error (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), so I reinstalled mesa. Error didn't disappear

2 years ago About intel drivers: libva-intel-driver and libvdpau-va-gl are installed. I can attach vainfo and vdpauinfo output, if needed

2 years ago As I said, when I use intel graphics, I have (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory). Despite this error, xorg starts, using swrast driver. There's another version of mesa, called mesa-amber. It has i965_dri.so. So, I installed this package, and Xorg started without that error. But acceleration still doesn't work

2 years ago I think, I should go to the archlinux forum with my issue, because, as I understand, it's driver problem, not picom. If you think so too, I can close this issue

2 years ago Yes, that seems to be the best course of action.

2 years ago Hey, one more comment. I found the solution, and I think, this will be useful for other people. So, what's the reason? As you know, I have a pretty old CPU (intel 330M, it's 5th generation of iGPU). iGPUs of this generation don't support opengl version higher than 2.1, so I cannot use software, that requires opengl 3.3, for example. One of such programs is kitty terminal, for which I set environment variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE to 1. That's why hw acceleration doesn't work There're two solutions: first, if you have an old iGPU, like mine, through this garbage away, and buy normal one, which supports opengl > 2.1. Second solution is to use picom without --experimental-backends. That's all

2 years ago Oh, and third solution. Stop using picom. You always can use kwin, which has blur and other cool things, but as for me, I prefer tilling wm
