Hardware acceleration on Ubuntu 21.04 with AMDGPU

#1

Hi!

How to enable hardware acceleration on Ubuntu 21.04 with AMDGPU?

$ cat .config/sublime-text/Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings 
{
	"ignored_packages":
	[
		"Vintage",
	],

	"hardware_acceleration": "opengl"

}

$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL"
OpenGL vendor string: AMD
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (NAVI10, DRM 3.40.0, 5.11.0-17-generic, LLVM 11.0.1)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 21.0.1
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.60
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 21.0.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.60
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL profile mask: compatibility profile
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 21.0.1
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

$ subl -v
Sublime Text Build 4107

But the diagnostic version is not printed in the console when start subl. So i assume the hardware acceleration is not working.

Thanks!
Daniel

Are you restarting Sublime Text after changing the setting? Are you sure you’re checking the Sublime Text console for the OpenGL info?
