[Slackbuilds-users] new webkit2gtk{4.1}

[Bob Funk]

Everything builds as expected but I am having issues with the new
webkit2gtk and my nvidia video card when using the 2.42.0 version of
webkit2gtk.

With webkit2gtk-2.42.0, yelp fails to render anything. Starting from a
terminal reports the following:

> # yelp
> src/nv_gbm.c:99: GBM-DRV error (nv_gbm_bo_create):
> DRM_IOCTL_NVIDIA_GEM_ALLOC_NVKMS_MEMORY failed (ret=-1)
>

Same thing for starting midori, which is also using the webkit2gtk-2.42.0
package:

> # midori

I also get this error with the webkit2gtk4.1-2.42.0 build and the epiphany
slackbuild:

Reverting down to the 2.40.5 version of both webkit2gtk builds fixes the
problem.

My initial searching brought up this bug:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228268

I can also add "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" to the environment to
workaround the bug when starting epiphany/yelp/midori with the 2.42.0
version of webkit2gtk, which was suggested in that bug report.

Other programs like sushi and gnome-builder are running fine with the newer
webkit2gtk package.

FWIW I'm using the 535.54.03 version of the nVidia drivers and a "GeForce
GTX 1660 SUPER" GPU. I wonder if anyone else with an nvidia GPU and recent
drivers is seeing this issue? Maybe we could use a few more testers.

Regards,

Bob
