FEX-Emu
Steam on openFyde Black screen fix?
It might be that your device has fallen back to llvmpipe for some reason which is causing Steam's webhelper to stall.
- What's your device?
- What is the output of
FEXBash glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"when run in a terminal?
My device is the Khadas Edge 2 RK3588S
Some info here: https://community.fydeos.io/t/topic/24891/1
I couldnt make ptitseb boxes to work but with FEX Emu at least it starts but the login menu steamwebhelper thing crashes wont start.. idk what to do here
Im using ubuntu jammy lxc container (not the debian penguin).
Looks like virgl is working at least, what version of FEX do you currently have? FEXLoader --version in terminal should tell you.
2309.1 is a bit old and might be missing some fixes, 2311 is the latest. If you update your packages then you should automatically get the newest one.
Alternatively, maybe the GL version exposed by virgl isn't new enough? FEXBash glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" would tell more.
OK I will update them just a second while this reinstalls steam and probably starts into a black screen again..
Oh sorry, looks like we had build failure in our PPA which means it didn't get the new update. We will be releasing a 2311.1 version in a few days to fix this.
Although OpenGL 2.1 might be a blocker on that device, I haven't ever tried Steam with that old of an OpenGL version.
I'm sure this has some easy fix.. Idk if I made some mistake when installing fex-emu on the roofts options thing. I'm just gonna reinstall this from scratch on a new ubuntu jammy container and see how it plays out. Alternatively I might be able to use it via steam commands FEXBash ./steamcmd.sh ... just o test out.. idk.
WOW!! GOT IT!!! LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 FEXBash steam I neede LIGBL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 for it to work!!!! AMAZING SONIC!! Im so fucking happy now!!
We have now released FEX-2311.1 in order to fix the outdated version problem. If you update the packages through the PPA now, you will get an updated version of FEX. This should give a performance increase.
Side note, apparently Panfrost supports a PAN_DEBUG=gl3 environment variable to enable GL3 on that hardware. Which might solve the black screen issue with that driver without resorting to using LLVMPipe.
