Hi, folks.
I have laptop with nvidia prime (intel and nvidia cards in pair).
And applications in the browser using webgl are terribly slow (for example, Google maps).
I have installed nvidia drivers but for some reason the browser uses the mesa driver. (Mesa DRI Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2). I tried to enable gpu offloading with set env variables
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 \
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia \
firefox
But it didn’t have any effect - still mesa,
even though it works great with glxgears
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 \
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia \
glxgears -info | grep GL_RENDERER
# Output:
> GL_RENDERER = GeForce MX150/PCIe/SSE2
How can I fix the problem with low fps in the browser?
How can I switch to using a NVIDIA driver or at least a Intel driver, not mesa?
Based on which configuration files does Fedora decide what to use for video rendering?
P.S. time for debug info:
