Description V Stuart Foote 2020-02-12 00:11:11 UTC 
testing TB77 20200211 nightly on Windows 10 Ent with nVidia K2000
Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 5d00a1c9c6e85f3d7a3e05ab485da79980c38d44
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL

With this build, unable to enable Vulkan hw rendering. This system had previously worked well with Skia/Vulkan an when set raster.

SAL_SKIA = vulkan is not having an effect.

No mix of the 'Graphics Output' check boxes on the Tools -> Options -> View panel seemed effective to enable the Vulkan hardware rendering.

Am I missing something?

I expect this has been handled by https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+diff/6ba3425d4333b0318674ee3e8396de768fac5a75%5E%21 .

On Windows 10 Ent 64-bit (1903) with nVidia K2000 GPU and
Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: cf96cb11e2a46c452a273ded1c66c556118983cf
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US

The 'Graphics Output' check boxes on the Tools -> Options -> View panel are doing sane things for Skia.

The 'Use Skia for all rendering' is enabling Skia/Vulkan, while the 'Force Skia software rendering' is toggling to Skia/raster mode but changing the mode, or enabling/disabling Skia, needs restart of LibreOffice (same as OpenGL rendering).
