Patched version doesn't work when i try on adreno 840 chroot debian 13

[arthurfprecht]

Hi,

I've followed the instructions on how to install the mesa-for-android-container_26.2.0-devel-20260511_debian_trixie_arm64.tar.gz /
turnip_26.2.0-devel-20260511_debian_trixie_arm64.tar.gz. I have a setup termux-x11 + termux:x11 app to access the desktop. I had XFCE4 installed and workin before. However, after installing the new MESA, the screen is blank and only the mouse appears.

The log when I start xfce from Debian is:

arthur@localhost:~$ startxfce4

If I press ctrl-c, I get some selinux error, which is funny because I set SELINUX to permissive vefore starting debian:

Is it possible that I messed up during installation? Or do you think installing the unlatched version would help?

I am not very familiar with Termux, so sorry if this is a silly question.

Thanks a lot for the attention!

Sorry for replying so late, I was busy with other things lately.

First, you can check whether xfce4's display compositor is turned off. Similar to KDE Plasma, if you need to use Freedreno to enable hardware acceleration for xfce4, it is best to turn off the display compositor.

You can first use the following command to start xfce4 via software rendering:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=llvmpipe
startxfce4

Then turn off the display compositor in the settings, with the following steps:

1. Open the Settings
   • Hover over Settings and then click on Window Manager Tweaks.
2. Switch to the Compositor Tab
   • In the Window Manager Tweaks window, click on the last tab named Compositor.
3. Disable Compositing
   • Uncheck the box that says Enable display compositing.
4. Apply and Close
   • The visual effects (like window shadows and transparency) will disappear immediately.

After turning it off, restart the Chroot container, and use the following command to start xfce4 with hardware acceleration:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=kgsl
startxfce4

Hi! No problems at all, thanks for the reply and instructions. I followed the stepsnto enable software rendering on xfce but I still get a blank screen (only mouse is remdered). Below is the log from the terminal:
