Disable GLX on Linux

I've been struggling to get toolbox to run on Centos7 for a while (since the last major update) and the Toolbox has become unusable on CentOS ever since.

I tried again today and you released an update, but it requires GLX 1.3 which is, as of yet, unsupported on CentOS7 and RHEL Nvidia drivers.

Which is kind of irrelevant.  What I'm asking for is if there was a way to run the Toolbox with GLX disabled, just plane jane graphics.

I can't immagine the toolbox needs harware acceleration since it's not the latest copy of Quake.

 

Is there a switch to disable GLX drivers?  Like what is being called by default when I launch the program?

jetbrains-toolbox-cef-helper --type=gpu-process --no-sandbox --log-file=/home/wilson/tools.log/cef.log --lang=en-US --toolbox-server-pid=10089 --gpu-preferences=KAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAQAAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAAA --gpu-vendor-id=0x10de --gpu-device-id=0x0dd8 --gpu-driver-vendor --gpu-driver-version --gpu-driver-date --gpu-secondary-vendor-ids=0x10de --gpu-secondary-device-ids=0x0dd8 --log-file=/home/wilson/tools.log/cef.log --lang=en-US --toolbox-server-pid=10089

 

See all that GPU crap, get rid of it so I can launch all my tools form one place

Hardware acceleration is completely useless here.

I've just noticed that on macOS of all apps that I'm running the jetbrains-toolbox-cef-helper is the only one requiring High Perf GPU.

Would indeed be good if the toolbox didn't require that especially because it impacts battery life this way.

Yes, I just noticed the same (on macOS). What's more - it's quite a memory hog…
