[Feature request] Hardware acceleration for Intel I-GPU

[cfouche3005]

Idea

Is it possible to add support for gpu like the Linuxserver Image by passing /dev/dri ?

Yes it should work, but it is not... I'm trying to see why.

Sorry to come back like this but is there any news ? I have retried with the latest version and used the configuration options in this issue but no luck.

From what I understand, the hardware acceleration is done through the X server. The X server in the image doesn't support hardware acceleration currently. I'm trying to see if Firefox can use another method.

This is also what i have concluded after searching about the different components of the image.

Following this also, looking for hardware acceleration as well as audio to be able to watch videos within it.

I come back after I stumbled on this : Cage which is a kiosk wayland compositor (that support gpu). This could be used in association with Wayvnc.
Both of them are in alpine repos (Cage and Wayvnc) so no need to build them.
This might be like a whole V2 of this project but I leave it there is you want to comment on it.

Just stumbled upon this issue. Is this the reason why WebGL might not be working at the moment?
In my understanding WebGL should at least be working slowly without it (which it doesn't: #54). But maybe enabling hardware acceleration would automatically solve this as well?
