No, it's OpenGL. It's in the Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View -
Graphics Output section. OpenCL is for formula calculations.

while we are here, how can a mortal know what is a "blacklisted openGL"?

Indeed we should find better wording (same for OpenCL blacklist/whiltelist).

Blacklist contains drivers that are known not to work. Whitelist is
the opposite: the list of drivers that are known to work. In
translation you can try to explain it, if the target language does not
have similar term.

To the discussion:

if not allready part of the end-user-string (did check on v.4.3.7 in "Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View -
Graphics Output" section but didn't find this string) , why not simple add the subject to adjective?

example: "blacklisted openGL drivers"

The other way round: Those settings (the blacklisting one) can
*prevent* your computer from freezing :slight_smile:

But of course if it does freeze for you, then you should file a bug
with the details of your graphics card and driver, so it can be added
to the blacklist for all users, so that not-so-early-testers won't
suffer from the same problem.

And also direct-x blacklist helps to show presentation on
high-resolutions in case the driver is buggy (e.g like
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54417 )
