Cannot run sway with hardware acceleration after compiling the latest mesa.

[Gustavo M]

As title says.

Here's the bash script I use to download the dependencies and compile the latest mesa: https://pastebin.com/1n7Sv0dZ

How /boot/*Env* looks like right now: https://pastebin.com/mUqHs14Y

 

And the error message I get when I try to run sway goes as follows:

 

MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev

libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

[wlr] [EGL] command: eglInitialize, error: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED (0x3001), message: "DRI2: failed to create screen"

Oddly enough, "eglinfo -B" shows that everything is fine: https://pastebin.com/6k05DcAS

 

How my .bashrc looks like right now: https://pastebin.com/3W7Qib6U

 

I've tried copying the firmware in (with "cd /lib/firmware
sudo wget https://github.com/JeffyCN/mirrors/raw/libmali/firmware/g610/mali_csffw.bin
sudo chmod 644 mali_csffw.bin"), forcing "card0" to be used with the env. value WLR_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card0, and panfrost with "MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=panfrost" and "GALLIUM_DRIVER=panfrost" but none of those options helped. I also added my user to "render" and "video" (with sudo usermod -aG video $USER and sudo usermod -aG render $USER), which also didn't do me any good. I also manually removed any trace of panfrost that was left into the system and reinstalled with "libgl1-mesa-dri" and manually compiling everything in again...and it also didn't worked. I don't know what else I should do, and I'm in the verge of reinstalling everything back in. Please help me. And thanks for reading.

I had encountered the same problem.Official images' driver were too old and customized.That means you can't change the DE easily.Have a try on Armbian Edge(mainline panthor instead) or build an Orange Pi OS by yourself.Github link.

[robertoj]

Which kernel, debian, mesa and sway versions are running normally when you run a stock Armbian?

 

Which new versions have you observed working together? (even if it's not ARM).

 

If they are too different, they may not work together due to library functions expecting other parameters.

 

You can try it with Ubuntu Noble, which has newer packages than Debian Trixie (build Armbian by yourself).

If someone is eager to add sway - we have a new cleaner way to add and maintain (unit tests, AI auto maintain) new desktop: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Desktops/
