3D acceleration breaks rendering in ROS2 Ignition Gazebo on Ubuntu 20.04

[LandonH]

When trying to run a simulation in Ignition Gazebo (a ROS2 simulation environment), 3D acceleration causes the renderer to output garbage. When 3D acceleration is turned off, it looks fine, but it is incredibly slow (obviously, because no 3d gpu acceleration).

This is happening on a 2019 16" MBP with i9 and Radeon Pro 5500M (4gb).

Any ideas?
