All Freedreno drivers (OpenGL / OpenGL ES) in this repository contain the Termux:X11 DRI3 patch. Newer versions of the Turnip driver (Vulkan) do not work on Adreno 7xx/8xx after being patched (so Adreno 7xx/8xx needs to have the unpatched Turnip driver installed on top of the patched Freedreno driver). All your tests used Zink, so in reality, only the unpatched Turnip driver is working.

You can first delete the Vulkan ICD files in the Mesa maintained by the distribution, and then install the two drivers in sequence. See the "Direct Extraction" section of the README for details.

sudo rm /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/*
sudo tar -zxvf mesa-for-android-container_26.1.0-devel-20260125_debian_trixie_arm64.tar.gz -C /
sudo tar -zxvf turnip_26.1.0-devel-20260125_debian_trixie_arm64.tar.gz -C /
sudo ldconfig

Please also check files such as /etc/profile, /etc/environment, ~/.profile, and ~/.bashrc to see if the MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE environment variable is incorrectly set to zink. The ideal test output is as follows:

Turns out it's a bad idea to install it on Termux-Desktop preinstalled debian distro ;) Seems removing the distro and installing it once again did the trick! Thanks!
