There was a problem hiding this comment.
Is this flag supposed to be set unconditionally?

Yeah, after submitting I realized I should've added a comment there – it's seems to only be strictly necessary when not having any dri nodes present (software-only with no GPU devices present, without this flag → guest hang)..
However, legacy virGL is not very desirable (especially in terms of security) and doesn't actually work anyway. So I think it's better to hard-disable it unconditionally.
Yes, please export that variable when Venus is selected. |

@valpackett there's just a minor clippy issue remaining. Once fixed I think we can merge it and cut a new release. |
…zation modes vDRM is great, but not supported everywhere yet, so on some machines the only way to get GPU acceleration is via Venus. Also, make it possible to use software rendering only while still having working cross-domain Wayland. Signed-off-by: Val Packett <[email protected]>

Should we also automatically set
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zinkwhen Venus is selected?
