Public bug reported:
We are currently working on enabling GNOME (Wayland) to run on top of a
Imagination GPU hardware accelerator for RISCV64. Initially, we tested
this on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, but after receiving suggestions from the GNOME
forum, we decided to switch to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Since upgrading, we’ve
noticed significant improvements, and GNOME is running more smoothly
than expected. However, the graphics configuration still shows “Software
Rendering” instead of utilising hardware acceleration. Despite
configuring the Imagination GPU, we are unable to enable hardware
acceleration for GNOME, which is impacting 3D rendering performance.
Please find the below EGL logs details for Imagination GPU as below:
OpenGL ES profile vendor: Imagination Technologies
OpenGL ES profile renderer: PowerVR Rogue GE8300
OpenGL ES profile version: OpenGL ES 3.2
OpenGL ES profile shading language version: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20
OpenGL ES profile extensions:
After several attempts and experiments running GPU computing tests, such
as OpenCL tests on the Imagination GPU, an issue arises when attempting
to execute 3D programs[opengles], as they are being executed on the CPU
instead of the imagination GPU.
