plasma 6 graphic hardware acceleraton
Hi, yesterday i updated one tumbleweed system to plasma 6 graphic: Radeon RX 7900XT 20GB open surce drivers could anybody tell me where i find the settings for the hardware accelleration? (switch on off, change driver) i was looking in systemsettings workspace behavior (and other places but did not find) .. at the moment i also did not find in plasma 5 but i remember somewhere there was this settings... and, i recognized that if i use x11 "glmark2" or "vkmark" will not work. one works the other not (i am on another system now, and i have forgotten which on.) with wayland both work. simoN -- www.becherer.de

Under Plasma 5 there's some items in Display and Monitor > Compositor, but more limited than what used to be configurable. For example, I don't know where OpenGL version would now reside. Some things are under the Display Configuration subcategory. gumb

I'm not sure if this will help, but I had the software renderer permanently kick in after some plasmashell errors under X11. A logout or reboot didn’t reset it. I couldn’t find a switch to re-enable hardware rendering in KDE6, but by comparing with backups I eventually found I could edit ~/.config/kdeglobals and remove: [QtQuickRendererSettings] SceneGraphBackend=software I originally sought more info on /discuss.kde.org - but no one responded - link in case anyone's interested: https://discuss.kde.org/t/on-error-kde6-x11-switched-to-the-software-rendere...

thanks, for the info. will check. i have found out that if wayland, there is no "composer" in display and monitor. simoN -- www.becherer.deB

I recently had an issue trying to do the opposite. On old Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics hardware (Tumbleweed 32 bit using X11). My original question and arrived solution is below. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/10523#note_2304029 You have to specify QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software . The OpenGL backend of Qt Quick uses complex shaders that does not fit into the hardware limits of this GPU. To do this create /etc/environment file and add above to it. There is a sample file is /usr/etc/environment My thought is what is about adding 'QT_QUICK_BACKEND=hardware' to '/etc/environment'. -regards

thanks for the suggestion. because at the momment i think it worked, i do not investigate it more. - in x11 after starting the two benchmark programms: glmark2 and vkmark the desktop get problems, (not responding correct when click to anything), but if a shell was already open the shell works (for reboot). in wayland it works, so for now i try to work with wayland, until i run there in an problem. simoN -- www.becherer.de
