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
configurations 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 vendor 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 ven-
dor selection.
SMF PROPERTIES
Configuration properties for ogl-select program are managed by the ser-
vice management facility, smf(5), under the service 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".
