ogl-select 1 "6 Jul 2010"
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 vendor selection.

SMF PROPERTIES

Configuration properties for ogl-select program are managed by the service 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".
