https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/136822/ allows overriding the driver name via an environment variable. It should be possible to make this persistently configurable at a per-system, per-user and per-application level via the drirc mechanism. > Also not sure if the ABI is stable for different mesa versions? Yes, it's backwards compatible, i.e. older driver binaries can work with newer loader versions. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
