Normally, no environment variables need to be set. Most of the environment
|
|
|
|
variables used by Mesa/Gallium are for debugging purposes, but they can
|
|
|
|
sometimes be useful for debugging end-user issues.

<H2>LibGL environment variables</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>LIBGL_DEBUG - If defined debug information will be printed to stderr.
|
|
|
|
If set to 'verbose' additional information will be printed.
|
|
|
|
<li>LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH - colon-separated list of paths to search for DRI drivers
|
|
|
|
<li>LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT - forces an indirect rendering context/connection.
|
|
|
|
<li>LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE - if set, always use software rendering
|
|
|
|
<li>LIBGL_NO_DRAWARRAYS - if set do not use DrawArrays GLX protocol (for debugging)
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|

|

<H2>Core Mesa environment variables</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
2006-11-25 11:49:17 -07:00
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>MESA_NO_ASM - if set, disables all assembly language optimizations
|
|
|
|
<li>MESA_NO_MMX - if set, disables Intel MMX optimizations
|
|
|
|
<li>MESA_NO_3DNOW - if set, disables AMD 3DNow! optimizations
|
|
|
|
<li>MESA_NO_SSE - if set, disables Intel SSE optimizations
|
2011-10-23 07:37:25 -06:00
|
|
|
<li>MESA_DEBUG - if set, error messages are printed to stderr. For example,
|
|
|
|
if the application generates a GL_INVALID_ENUM error, a corresponding error
|
|
|
|
message indicating where the error occured, and possibly why, will be
|
|
|
|
printed to stderr.<br>
|
|
|
|
If the value of MESA_DEBUG is 'FP' floating point arithmetic errors will
|
|
|
|
generate exceptions.
|
2006-11-25 11:49:17 -07:00
|
|
|
<li>MESA_TEX_PROG - if set, implement conventional texture env modes with
|
|
|
|
fragment programs (intended for developers only)
|
|
|
|
<li>MESA_TNL_PROG - if set, implement conventional vertex transformation
|
|
|
|
operations with vertex programs (intended for developers only).
|
|
|
|
Setting this variable automatically sets the MESA_TEX_PROG variable as well.
|
2010-05-22 14:05:42 -06:00
|
|
|
<li>MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE - can be used to enable/disable extensions.
|
|
|
|
A value such as "GL_EXT_foo -GL_EXT_bar" will enable the GL_EXT_foo extension
|
|
|
|
and disable the GL_EXT_bar extension.
|
2012-08-17 07:57:59 -06:00
|
|
|
<li>MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR - The GL_EXTENSIONS string returned by Mesa is sorted
|
|
|
|
by extension year.
|
|
|
|
If this variable is set to year X, only extensions defined on or before year
|
|
|
|
X will be reported.
|
|
|
|
This is to work-around a bug in some games where the extension string is
|
|
|
|
copied into a fixed-size buffer without truncating.
|
|
|
|
If the extension string is too long, the buffer overrun can cause the game
|
|
|
|
to crash.
|
|
|
|
This is a work-around for that.
