Please tell me if other information is needed.
thanks!!!
The Xserver is running on the Aspeed graphics.
oh that is true, thanks a lot! and could you teach me how to change it to nvidia?
i didnot find how to switch it in my nvidia-settings
You need to create a basic /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:24:0:0"
EndSection
and of course connect a monitor to the specific nvidia gpu.
It seems that I have the same error. nvidia-smi works fine but OpenGL renderer is llvmpipe.

But the error still exist.
Since this seems to be a server, are you logging in from remote, e.g. through rdp? Then it’s only a virtual Xserver using LLVM.
