.SH NAME
ogl-select \- boot time selection of OpenGL vendor files 
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I ogl-select
is a service for the Service Management Facility (SMF) under
the identifier \fIsvc:/application/opengl/ogl-select\fP
that determines at boot time which vendor supplied OpenGL headers
and libraries will be used.  The selection of the OpenGL vendor
should be automatic and in most cases will not require any
configuration.  However, for system configurations with special
needs a property can be used to select the vendor.  The property
is described in the SMF PROPERTIES section below. 
.PP
The SMF method performs the automatic probe by querying the
device driver attached to the primary framebuffer device, /dev/fb.
If the name reported by the driver matches the value advertised
by a vendor registry, the rules in the vendor registry will be
used to select the OpenGL headers and libraries.  The name reported
by the driver can be verfied with \fIconstype\fP(1).  If the system
configuration does not match the desired OpenGL vendor, a SMF
property can be used to force the vendor selection.
.SH SMF PROPERTIES
.PP
Configuration properties for \fBogl-select\fP program are
managed by the service management facility, \fBsmf\fR(5), under the service 
identifier:
.PP
.nf
svc:/application/opengl/ogl-select
.fi
Use \fBsvccfg\fR(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration 
information for this service\&. 
.PP
These properties may be set for ogl-select:
.TP
.B options/vendor 
(Type astring) The vendor tag to use for selecting the OpenGL headers
and libraries, overriding the results of the automatic probe.  Available
vendors can be found with 'ls /lib/opengl/ogl_select/*_vendor_select'.
If the property is set to an unknown vendor tag, the method will default
to "mesa".  Setting the property to "" or "notset" causes it to be ignored
and the results of the automatic probe are used instead.  The default
value is "notset".
