OpenGL software rendering warning on raspberry pi 5 #1229

Description

@sophof

See title, I get this warning since I upgraded to 2026.04: 'You appear to be using software rendering OpenGL. Expect bad performance'. I didn't get this with my previous version (2025.12 I believe). Performance is indeed slow at 1080p. By lowering the resolution performance is ok, but the warning stays.

  • Can I as a short term solution disable this warning somehow?
  • How can I fix this? glxgears and glxinfo show hardware acceleration is enabled.
