GTK failed to initialize GL in webkit2 on GTK

[vprachar]

Is it possible to run webkit2 with hardware acceleration on imx8mm? I'm trying to run it on Debian 12 with Weston.

Now when I'm trying to run my simple browser, then the website is really slow. 
The browser code is simple: 

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <webkit2/webkit2.h>

char *DEFAULT_URI = "<some url>";

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
  GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 800, 600);
  gtk_window_fullscreen(GTK_WINDOW(window));

  WebKitWebView *webView = WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(webkit_web_view_new());
  webkit_web_view_load_uri(webView, DEFAULT_URI);

  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), GTK_WIDGET(webView));

  gtk_widget_show_all(window);
  gtk_main ();
  return 0;
}

When I run this app with Weston, I get this warning:
Disabled hardware acceleration because GTK failed to initialize GL: Unable to create a GL context.

But in same log the Weston knows about graphic. 

The whole log:

Does anyone know how to run a website through webkit2 so it's not too slow on imx8mm?

Hi @vprachar 

The board is using mesa driver which is not released from NXP. 

We can't provide more comment about this issue.
