On my NVIDIA MX150, my triangle draws (yay!). But on Intel UHD 630, it doesn't. How do I work out what's not working?

So, long story short, but I'm finally at the point where I'm ready to draw a triangle. And I can, at least when I use my NVIDIA GPU (I have an Optimus laptop). But when I use the Intel GPU instead, the triangle doesn't draw.

In both cases, the background clears to the selected colour correctly. It's just that the triangle doesn't appear when using the Intel GPU.

I've tried RenderDoc - although I don't really know much about it - and everything seems identical in what it records between runs of the program with different GPUs selected - except for one thing.

On NVIDIA, the Mesh Viewer looks like this: https://i.ibb.co/jvpttBfM/image.png (hopefully you can see the wireframe triangle).

But on Intel, it looks like this: https://i.ibb.co/qM0pKvvj/image.png

I've got no idea what it means that the triangle is filled red, or what the blue square on the top vertex means.

I don't expect anyone to diagnose the exact problem - although that would be great if you happen to know - but can anyone help me with how I can investigate further? I don't really know what to try next, or what else I can do in RenderDoc to figure it out.

My shaders are simple, by the way - hardcoded vertices in the vertex shader, and returning a constant colour from the fragment shader. I haven't got as far as vertex buffers or attributes yet.

Is anyone catching Firefox "sleeping" a lot more since 150.0? UI takes a noticeable about of time to "wake" up or draw (Windows 10)

Lately - since the update to 150, I think - I've noticed Firefox seems to, I don't know, "fall asleep" a lot, or something. I don't really know how to describe it, but I see things like this (but only fairly rarely, not every time):

  • Pressing Ctrl-T and it takes half a second or more to actually open the tab, whereas before it was always instant
  • Start scrolling, but it takes around half a second to respond (then subsequently acts normally)
  • Open a minimised Window, and for half a second it's almost completely black, then it paints the page (a couple of weeks ago I was also catching it drawing old-style non-aero controls during this "wake up" period, but that seems to have been replaced with a blacked-out window now)

Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

I've got plenty of RAM and only have a few tabs open at a time. The only big thing that I can remember doing lately was disabling the Windows hypervisor so I could use VirtualBox, but I can't see how that would have affected things.

Since the upgrade to 150, my print dialogs, javascript dialogs, and "title" hover captions are all showing in a dark mode style (white on black or dark grey).

Is there any way to override this back to a light style?

I changed layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override to 1 but with no effect.
