Games compilation howto on the Pinebook-pro (Manjaro Linux and Debian native)

[astr0baby]

Hey, I know I post in there a lot but I installed yquake2 this morning and the game won't run because it can't find a usable renderer :/

Code:

[idaho@pbpro-manjaro .yq2]$ quake2

Here is the content of "/usr/pkg/lib/dri":

Code:

[idaho@pbpro-manjaro dri]$ ls
kms_swrast_dri.so  nouveau_drv_video.so  r200_dri.so  r600_drv_video.so  radeonsi_drv_video.so
lima_dri.so        nouveau_vieux_dri.so  r300_dri.so  radeon_dri.so      swrast_dri.so
nouveau_dri.so     panfrost_dri.so       r600_dri.so  radeonsi_dri.so    vc4_dri.so

Is it because I switched to the panfrost driver and that it can't use it?

Edit: I managed to get the game running by copying ref_gl1.so ref_gl3.so and ref_soft.so from the "/usr/pkg/share/yquake2" directory to "/usr/pkg/libexec" and it runs but the game is quite laggy at 1080p, is this normal behavior? I suspect there's a problem with which driver the game should be using (I also tried copying "rockchip_dri.so" from "usr/lib/dri" to "usr/pkg/lib/dri" and the game just gives me a black screen and steels the mouse focus when I try to switch windows...

Edit2: I've put the rendering options to software in the game and there's no lagging anymore, the opengl options make things laggy, so I guessmy driver issue suspicions were right, do you think the p I blem is on my end or with the package??

Hi Idaho,

there are no usable panfrost drivers in pkgsrc yet to make the binaries from there to use them, so I guess the build process would have to be changed to link against the native ones in Manjaro.
