    31 .SH NAME

    32 ogl-select \- boot time selection of OpenGL vendor files 

    33 .PP

    34 .SH DESCRIPTION

    35 .I ogl-select

    36 is a service for the Service Management Facility (SMF) under

    37 the identifier \fIsvc:/application/opengl/ogl-select\fP

    38 that determines at boot time which vendor supplied OpenGL headers

    39 and libraries will be used.  The selection of the OpenGL vendor

    40 should be automatic and in most cases will not require any

    41 configuration.  However, for system configurations with special

    42 needs a property can be used to select the vendor.  The property

    43 is described in the SMF PROPERTIES section below. 

    44 .PP

    45 The SMF method performs the automatic probe by querying the

    46 device driver attached to the primary framebuffer device, /dev/fb.

    47 If the name reported by the driver matches the value advertised

    48 by a vendor registry, the rules in the vendor registry will be

    49 used to select the OpenGL headers and libraries.  The name reported

    50 by the driver can be verfied with \fIconstype\fP(1).  If the system

    51 configuration does not match the desired OpenGL vendor, a SMF

    52 property can be used to force the vendor selection.

    53 .SH SMF PROPERTIES

    54 .PP

    55 Configuration properties for \fBogl-select\fP program are

    56 managed by the service management facility, \fBsmf\fR(5), under the service 

    57 identifier:

    58 .PP

    59 .nf

    60 svc:/application/opengl/ogl-select

    61 .fi

    62 Use \fBsvccfg\fR(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration 

    63 information for this service\&. 

    64 .PP

    65 These properties may be set for ogl-select:

    66 .TP

    67 .B options/vendor 

    68 (Type astring) The vendor tag to use for selecting the OpenGL headers

    69 and libraries, overriding the results of the automatic probe.  Available

    70 vendors can be found with 'ls /lib/opengl/ogl_select/*_vendor_select'.

    71 If the property is set to an unknown vendor tag, the method will default

    72 to "mesa".  Setting the property to "" or "notset" causes it to be ignored

    73 and the results of the automatic probe are used instead.  The default

    74 value is "notset".
