Description Alexander Larsson 2019-12-19 13:57:47 UTC 
I noticed that the fedora flatpak didn't pick up the nvidia driver extension.

I added this to the platform metadata (/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.fedoraproject.Platform/x86_64/f31/active/metadata):

[Extension org.freedesktop.Platform.GL]
version = 1.4
directory = lib/GL
subdirectories = true
no-autodownload = true
autodelete = false
add-ld-path = lib
merge-dirs = vulkan/icd.d;glvnd/egl_vendor.d;OpenCL/vendors
download-if = active-gl-driver
enable-if = active-gl-driver

And then created the /usr/lib/GL directory in the runtime:

  mkdir /var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.fedoraproject.Platform/x86_64/f31/active/files/GL

And then i could run:

 flatpak run  org.mozilla.Firefox about:support

and it reported the webgl stuff as working with the nvidia driver.

Any reason we're not doing this by default?
Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2019-12-19 14:45:47 UTC 
Additionally we need to configure libglvnd to find the json files in the extension.
With the above example they will appear as:
  /usr/lib/GL/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json

It seems like the default libglvnd looks in /usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d and /etc/glvnd/egl_vendor.d, and fedora choses the one in /usr for packaging its drivers, leaving the other for sysadmin overrides. Since there is no sysadmin overrides in flatpak we can use this by making the /etc/glvnd a symlink to /usr/lib/GL/glvnd which will then be filled in by the extension.

You also need something similar for vulkan and opencl:

[📦 org.mozilla.Firefox ~]$ ls /usr/lib/GL/OpenCL/vendors/ /usr/lib/GL/vulkan/icd.d/
/usr/lib/GL/OpenCL/vendors/:
nvidia.icd

/usr/lib/GL/vulkan/icd.d/:
nvidia_icd.json
