Are you specifically talking about libmali with the following statements? I would say that in general libmali is probably not doing things in the "normal" way if so, although I'm not trying to say that it isn't a legitimate way to do it. > > Anything that needs "OpenGL", i.e. Wayland/Weston, X11, Chromium, etc etc etc. > These all end up linking to a combination of libmali and mesa-gl. In general (maybe not for libmali) Wayland and Weston themselves don't use OpenGL, or mesa-gl. Individual clients may be able to use it, although it's rare in my (incomplete) experience. Most of the OpenGL users in Wayland/Weston are going through XWayland/X11 and using GLX. > > Pretty much anything that depends on 'virtual/gl' (vs virtual/libgles1,2,3). > libmali provides virtual/libgles1 and virtual/libgles2 and a few other things > that meta-gl doesn't. > > libmali also doesn't include the DRM/DRI parts. This comes from mesa-gl. In general, DRM/DRI doesn't come from mesa-gl. libdrm is its own recipe, and libgbm comes from mesa proper, or from some other dedicated vendor specific libgbm recipe. If this is sidetracking the discussion please ignore; I'm just a little confused by the above statements because either A) libmali is really weird B) my understanding of things is _way_ off, or C) the statements aren't quite correct. > > --Mark > > > Alex > > >
