NAME
ogl-select - boot time selection of OpenGL vendor files
DESCRIPTION
ogl-select is a service for the Service Management Facility
(SMF) under the identifier svc:/application/opengl/ogl-
select that determines at boot time which vendor supplied
OpenGL headers and libraries will be used. The selection of
the OpenGL vendor should be automatic and in most cases will
not require any configuration. However, for system configu-
rations with special needs a property can be used to select
the vendor. The property is described in the SMF PROPERTIES
section below.
The SMF method performs the automatic probe by querying the
device driver attached to the primary framebuffer device,
/dev/fb. If the name reported by the driver matches the
value advertised by a vendor registry, the rules in the ven-
dor registry will be used to select the OpenGL headers and
libraries. The name reported by the driver can be verfied
with constype(1). If the system configuration does not
match the desired OpenGL vendor, a SMF property can be used
to force the vendor selection.
SMF PROPERTIES
Configuration properties for ogl-select program are managed
by the service management facility, smf(5), under the ser-
vice identifier:
svc:/application/opengl/ogl-select
Use svccfg(1M) to make configuration changes and to view
configuration information for this service.
These properties may be set for ogl-select:
options/vendor
(Type astring) The vendor tag to use for selecting the
OpenGL headers and libraries, overriding the results of
the automatic probe. Available vendors can be found
with 'ls /lib/opengl/ogl_select/*_vendor_select'. If
the property is set to an unknown vendor tag, the
method will default to "mesa". Setting the property to
"" or "notset" causes it to be ignored and the results
of the automatic probe are used instead. The default
value is "notset".
