Re: [Slackbuilds-users] Updates - 20201107.1
Hello, I had also recently some Intel related problems with Chromium (Alien's build) and also Opera. I didn't test Vivaldi, but it's also Chromium based. I think that there were some changes in Chromium engine which broke all these browsers on Intel cards. Browsers started ok, but full-screen didn't work and after some use of GL, application stopped redraw itself (it worked and responded to my clicks, but nothing changed on screen). I tried kernel upgrade (nothing changed), Mesa upgrade (Mesa 13.0.6 can be built on stock 14.2) - i have a feeling that this made things little better. Of course I tried disabling hardware acceleration in browser and it helped a lot, but in long term it didn't fixed issue. What fixed in my setup was creating configuration for Intel card for X11 (maybe together with new Mesa, but I didn't try to downgrade it) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf to force enabling DRI 3: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "DRI""3" EndSection Best regards, Marek -- "If you want something done...do yourself!"

Except in my case, the profile folder had been mutilated to such an extent by the new version that even the previous version of Vivaldi would just crash and burn when I tried to start it. Starting over with a clean profile folder and hardware acceleration disabled was easy because I'm using the sync feature. I've tried re-enabling hardware acceleration afterwards, which lead to the same result. I've also been running the latest versions of Vivaldi on SBo with hardware acceleration disabled on Slackware 14.2 without any issues since then. For what it's worth: I've seen the same thing happening on a system with NVIDIA Optimus disabled, and a system which only has an Intel embedded graphics card. So it seems to be some kind of Intel-related issue. Given that this is a pretty common setup, it might be feasible to make a note of this in the README file, or even to take precautions in the slackbuild-script itself. However, given that the general philosophy of Slackware is to assume that the user is smart and that other hardware configurations are not guaranteed to fail, such precautions should be optional. Therefore I think that a note in the README and a variable that can optionally be set to apply your fix directly from the slackbuild with something like "DEFAULT_DISABLE_GPU_ACCELERATION=yes ./vivaldi.Slackbuild", might be the most elegant solution here.

When it was first upgraded to version 3.4, it became broken due to some anoying problems with the GUI (windows seemed to be opened but didn't react to mouse clicks; minimizing the window seemed to work but the screen didn't change, etc.). At that time I went back to the version 2022.47 (from the end of Setember and the last one from 3.3 series) and it ran flawlessly again. This happened again for two or three times, for each slackbuild version posted so far in the 3.4 series. Last week (in another frustating upgrade) I tried to investigate a little bit more about this and ultimately found an answer in one post on this thread: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/52242/vivaldi-3-4-freezes-constantly-debian-10-intel-gpu/9, which is to run vivaldi from the CLI this way: $ vivaldi --disable-gpu-compositing another way to solve the problem is to disable GPU acceleration in the settings page (but to do this one must bring to the "settings" screen, which seems to be impossible when the problem happens). Here I managed to change /usr/bin/vivaldi inserting that option hardcoded in the shell script which starts the real vivaldi binary. This way I can run vivaldi from the GUI as well. The issue seems to be related to the specifics of the GPU used and I would not risk talking about it as it seems to require a deep knowledge of the inner bits. A curiosity of mine is if anybody else has experienced such problem. Anyway (and supposing this isn't a problem specific of myself), a suggestion would be writing some notes in the README file about it. I would volunteer doing so if there are no objections.
