It is really difficult for Mali GPU to use OpenGL with hardware acceleration . Unlike Adreno, it doesn't expose some device like /dev/kgsl-3d* to normal user, and thus there is no way for Termux to access the Mali-GPU directly as Termux is executed in user space.

You can try virglrenderer-android. It wraps the system's OpenGL, but it may not bring so much performance.

[lunsokhasovan]

Thanks, but it didn't work. So I use regular Mesa, it's fine for me? (Lack of GLX_EXT_swap_control or GLX_MESA_swap_control)

By the way, I did compare /dev/kgsl-3d* and /dev/mali* that I found, they are same. I'm not sure, /dev/mali* is already used or not?

[licy183]

/dev/mali* may be exposed to user, but actually there is no GL or vulkan drivers shipped by Termux using it.

Termux ships Mesa as the GL or vulkan drivers. It has panfrost, but it uses DRI devs (/dev/dri/renderD*) and they are not exposed for normal user.
