Description
Compiling my pixels project on a new install of Ubuntu 23 in VMWare Workstation 17. 3D acceleration is enabled, but I have not installed Vulkan drivers. EGUI is rendered, but the pixel buffer is not.
minimal_egui example has the same behavior:
[2023-07-06T22:47:02Z WARN wgpu_hal::gles::egl] EGL context: -robust access
[2023-07-06T22:47:02Z WARN wgpu_hal::gles::egl] Re-initializing Gles context due to Wayland window
[2023-07-06T22:47:02Z WARN wgpu_hal::gles::egl] EGL context: -robust access
[2023-07-06T22:47:02Z WARN egui_wgpu::renderer] Detected a linear (sRGBA aware) framebuffer Rgba8UnormSrgb. egui prefers Rgba8Unorm or Bgra8Unorm
It looks like installing Vulkan drivers resolves, but I was curious if this was supposed to work in the default configuration...

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the minimal_egui example on Ubuntu 23 in VMware Workstation 17 with 3D acceleration enabled, and review the reported wgpu_hal::gles::egl and egui_wgpu::renderer warnings. Trace the pixel-buffer rendering path after confirming that EGUI renders; done means the example displays its pixel buffer in this environment.
