Adreno only method.
Tested in Exynos but gave me 10fps

( Looks like there is no Zink like driver and DRI support for non-snapdragon devices )

Sad.

But from what I heard it supports AMD RDNA 2 GPU? https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/10hu1x7/termux_prefix_with_preinstalled_ubuntu_2204_proot/

Hey, thanks for the time you've spent doing this is awesome! I just want to let yoy know that it was working for me, but i uninstall termux and tried again and appears this error, any idea? thank you in advance

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
vulkan-loader-generic : Conflicts: vulkan-loader-android but 25c is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Maybe it is a bug? Try installing packages one by one
pkg install clvk glfw mesa-vulkan-icd-swrast swiftshader vulkan-extension-layer vulkan-extension-layer-static vulkan-headers vulkan-loader vulkan-loader-generic vulkan-tools
pkg install vulkan-loader-android

Would there be a way to use the Panfrost Driver instead of Zink? I have a mali G52 and it seems my device doesn't fully support Zink...

I just want to mention, if you use "--use-gles" parameter with zink, virgl-server achives to GLSL 4.3 (As well as OpenGL 4.3)

Seems not working in Debian. Minetest failed to launch when using virglrenderer_android

[ivon852]

Got glmark2 runing on Arch proot. The score of glmark2 improved a little bit with virgl. But I always encounter VTEST_CLIENT_ERROR_INPUT_READ error maybe it is the issue of glmark.

[ilhan-athn7]

I wondering a point,
virgl_test_server --use-gles
virgl_test_server_android

Do they work different?

[Fancy2209]

I wondering a point, virgl_test_server --use-gles virgl_test_server_android

Do they work different?

VirGL_test_server uses llvmpipe by default while android uses Android's native GLES library

I am extremely confused at this point, since there seems to be no coherent documentation on the topic that i can find. By now i've seen like 10 different approaches to hardware accelleration in Termux, and everyone seems to use anothter virglrenderer package. For instance i've seen a standalone "virglrenderer" package mentioned, as well as "virglrenderer-mesa-zink" and now i see "virglrenderer-android" here. I cant find any documentation on any of this, only tons of different "tutorials" or Forum Posts with instructions without complete explanations and AI chatbots gave me answer ranging from "quotes from package database description" to "virglrenderer-android is a software based implementation and not actually hardware accellerated".... Can you help me out here or maybe point to a documentation that i can read on this topic? No problem with reading longer linux docs e.g. i just couldnt find any here.

[pierreduf]

Interested as well :) Have you made any progress ?

[micimize]

This is excellent stuff! Should virgl work without x11 as well? I haven't been able to get GALLIUM_DRIVER=virpipe glmark2-es2-drm -d to run successfully within proot-distro

[subhu2008]

Hmm whenever I compiled mesa,libepoxy and virglrenderer before i got success every time but when I compile the mesa,libepoxy and virglrenderer now it fails. I wonder why?

Thank you so much for your great tutorial!

Untunately, Blender does not render correctly and crashes when selecting an object when using virglrenderer-android. Therefore, I would like to try out Zink driver and I was able to successfully compile the latest mesa driver in Debian. But when I try to compile virglrenderer with Zink in termux I am getting the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/tmp/libxshmfence/src'
CC xshmfence_alloc.lo

fd = memfd_create("xshmfence", MFD_CLOEXEC|MFD_ALLOW_SEALING);

Same problem when trying to compile the other packages.

[ivon852]

Sorry I haven't use zink for a long time. It always breaks after upgrading Termux.

Try following this guide instead for hardware acceleration
