Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 24.0.8-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
OpenGL ES 1 contexts cannot be created when using Mesa on Debian Testing
(trixie). However it works on Debian 12 (bookworm). It can be fixed in
Testing by building Mesa with "-Dgles1=enabled" in the mesa source package
"debian/rules" file.
OpenGL ES 1 contexts can be tested by installing mesa-utils package and running
es2_info under the executable name es1_info:
$ ln -s /usr/bin/es2_info es1_info
$ ./es1_info
On Debian Testing es1_info fails to create an OpenGL ES 1 context:
$ ./es1_info
Error: eglCreateContext failed
On Debian Testing with libgl1-mesa-dri patched to use -Dgles1=enabled it prints
the OpenGL ES 1 context information (GL_VERSION: OpenGL ES-CM 1.1):
$ ./es1_info

Debian 12 (Mesa 22.3) and Testing (Mesa 24.0) packages both specify disabling
gles1. Before Mesa 23.1, this disabled the Mesa specific libGLESv1_CM library
but not the OpenGL ES 1 context support.
The glvnd system provides the libGLESv1_CM shim library that passes calls to
Mesa or Nvidia's driver. This made OpenGL ES 1 usable with Mesa in Debian 12.
The contexts have stopped working in Debian Testing due to Mesa 23.1 changing
the implementation of the gles1 option to cause it to disable OpenGL ES 1
context support.
Using "-Dgles1=enabled" would restore support to the level of Debian 12.
Building Mesa with glvnd enabled (as Debian does) no longer builds the Mesa
specific libGLESv1_CM library when gles1 is enabled. I don't think applying
this change would require other packaging changes.
I tested this by fetching the Debian Testing mesa source package, building, and
installing libgl1-mesa-dri with gles1 enabled. It allows OpenGL ES 1 contexts
to be created and used on Debian Testing.

es2_info uses the source code of es1_info and the ES version is based on the
executable name at run-time:

This Mesa 23.1 change made disabling the gles1 option disable the context
support:
("mesa: optimize out _mesa_is_desktop_gl*() and _mesa_is_gles*() calls when not
built")
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/adbe8b6c17a76bb5ee0b924d927473f81c593eba
This Mesa 23.2 change properly rejects OpenGL ES 1 context when it's disabled
instead of crashing:
("mesa/main: Exit early when trying to create an unsupported context API")
