gtk4 extension on armv7l (RaspberryPi)

<< < (4/4)

Paul_123:
Yes, pi4 with 32bit userspace, defaults to the aarch64 kernel, due To the memory management problems with the armv7l kernel.  This is what RaspiOS does too.

You just have to be a little careful compiling 32bit apps.

Xorg-3d works without problems on the RPi4:

just to note:
- vc4-kms has different underlying parts for pi4 and pi3
- code path is distinct for hdmi and dsi screens

from my experience firmware v4-fkms is more likely to work without issues (for example vc4-kms-v3d doesn't work correctly in most cases with pi3b+ and dsi screen that I have)

..and gtk4-widget-factory is noticeably quicker.

on this rpi4 and gtk4.14 setup:
- in case of gtk4.14 I suppose that switching to GL rendering will give some gtk4 boost too (gtk4.14 default ngl is slower than gl)
- gtk4.x with vulkan rendering (if it's supported there) can give even more boost (it matches or surpasses gl, tradeoff of that: vulkan is not so rich in api like gl)

p.s. "faster/slower" is accordingly to gtk4 notes on new renderers

I never had any problems with vc4-kms-v3d up to and including 14.x…

I suspect there’s a problem with the vc4 kernel driver on RPi3 in 15.x, but can’t figure out how to isolate it.

I can't say about TC and hdmi, it's on other distros and with dsi screen

Have you tried it with fkms? ("dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d" + "disable_fw_kms_setup=1" works on rpi3b+ tc15 xorg in my case)
