Need I upload the diagnosticlog here for analysis?

@laris It looks like you're on an old version of NootedRed.

I checked opencore config, it should be ci1055 20231112 dfd2ffa commit.

@laris It looks like you're on an old version of NootedRed.

Could you share how to double confirm the driver version? I confirm according opencore config ref #200 (comment)

I can provide more detail or log if you need.

upload video, after open the alacritty, the dock status.

Same problem as Sublime Text. The only thing you can do is wait for a fix and/or disable HW acceleration for the app temporarily

[laris]

thank you.
But it looks like cannot get shell with black window.

that's a macOS OpenGL driver bug with the texture display. even mesa has the same issue on OpenGL 2 renderer
