<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> Hi all! The last days I've been struggling with mesa3d to get GPU acceleration on X, on my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. Maybe someone knows how to deal with it. Using Buildroot I've compiled a system with mesa3d, using KMSRO, V3D and VC4 Gallium drivers. X11 is starting up, stating that DRI is initialised and everything seems to work. But when I run glxinfo or glxgears, it is stating 'Failed to open bo 1: Permission denied'. glxgears opens a window which simply stays black. So I started to track it down and ended up in drivers/drm/drm_ioctl.c. The specific function that returns EACCES (-13) is drm_ioctl_permit(). To identify the failing condition I've added some DRM_DEBUG() for each one of the four condition there. After enabling drm.debug with # echo 0xf > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug I see that it fails on the DRM_RENDER_ALLOW condition. I don't know how this all works together and what it means, in detail. So I'm lost now. I assume that X11 is occupying the exclusive access to the render node /dev/dri/renderD128. But how does glxgears should work now? What I'm trying to archive is to run chromium with GPU acceleration, but the GPU process is crashing and reverts to software rendering. When running glxinfo it is showing all the renderer information, which looks good, though it shows that permission denied too. All programs are running as root at the moment and the filesystem permissions look good. As I said, I'm lost and don't know that much about all this to go any further, so I'm stuck at it now. I hope someone here got the missing piece for me to get it working, though I'm not sure wether it is the right place for this question. May be it's related to kernel configuration, to the Raspberry firmware, or what so ever. But I even don't know that. Software used: Mesa3D 20.3.4 Linux 5.10.y (branch at github.com/raspberrypi/linux) Firmware stable (branch at github.com/raspberrypi/firmware) Thank you in advance. Further down you will find some output from strace and drm.debug.
