Hardware acceleration is not working in Firefox, Brave, and Minecraft

[liyderek]

Has anyone installed Minecraft before? I installed prismlauncher from nixpkgs unstable, and I'm using openjdk 21. Minecraft is not detecting any hardware acceleration, and is using llvmpipe. Fabulously optimized and sodium are installed.

I also noticed that GPU acceleration is not working on browsers like Firefox and Brave. I might be wrong tho, but this is probably the bigger issue here

You have to add packages to your environment.systemPackages to get them fixed up so the graphics acceleration works.

Firefox works great for me this way. Is this how you are using Prism launcher?

@tpwrules What packages do you need to add to environment.systemPackages? I'm not using Minecraft, but my Firefox is painfully slow.

Its also my case since I update today. I got mesa update, I suppose its related. The general feeling and this all is laggy then, my mouse move slowly, firefox unusable.

For me, all works fine. Updated my flake's today too.

Running on an M1 and my wm is hyprland. Maybe it makes it difference don't know

Asahi-related config (not sure if there still necessary but maybe something to try out):

  # Asahi settings
  hardware = {
    asahi = {
      withRust = true;
      # addEdgeKernelConfig = true;
      useExperimentalGPUDriver = true;
      experimentalGPUInstallMode = "replace";
      setupAsahiSound = true;
    };
  };

Edit: Minecraft works fine too

There was just a major change in how Mesa works in upstream unstable nixpkgs. I've had some discussion with them and will implement fixes in a bit.
