Continuing the discussion from [ARM Stable Update] 2021-01-21 - Plasma 5.20.5, Mesa 20.3.3, Mobile and Kernels:
How do you set Gnome to use Panfrost instead of llvmpipe? I have been wanting to experiment with Gnome on Manjaro on my PineBook Pro but cannot give a fair comparison if I cannot get GPU accelerated graphics working.
Thanks!
It should be using panfrost by default.
Please install mesa-demos and then give the outout of glxinfo -B.
No it’s not as there is an entry in modprobe conf to blacklist it… overlays/gnome/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-panfrost.conf · master · manjaro-arm / applications / arm-profiles · GitLab
Just delete this file from your installation (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-panfrost.conf) and reboot… I guess this is a leftover from earlier times when panfrost drivers were not stable enough for the gnome desktop
Ah okay. So the profile disables panfrost. Most be a remnent from back in the day, when Panfrost did not work that well yet.
