Experimental OpenGL Driver in Arch?

Tue Mar 08, 2016 5:07 am

Hello,

I enabled the OpenGL driver in Raspbian, and I would like to do the same under Arch Linux. Is it possible? When I use the entry in config.txt that does enable it, Arch boots but X doesn't start. Any advice or help appreciated.

Thanks

That's Mesa but doesn't seem to be/contain an accelerated driver. Performance is dire compared to other distros (e.g. Lakka).

Return to “Arch”
