You can try installing lib32-nvidia-utils

ok ill give it a shot

#

still says llvmpipe is the renderer

#

this was after installing lib32-nvidia-utils and rebooting

looking through my logs and i found this

#

i think it might be the culprit

#

ok i fixed it

#

so what was happening is that in my shells config i had a line that was adding linuxbrew's lib directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and i was under the assumption that the library loader would search in all the usual places and then what was set in the environment variable

#

but in reality it was looking first in wherever the environment variable said

#

so it was using the libGL.so provided by linuxbrew

#

this has caused me so much pain and suffering and it was really that simple
