This Section explains how to install Drivers to make OpenGL Programs run under Linux and how to use different Libraries/Toolkits to create Opengl Programs.

Mesa is an open-source OpenGL implementation, continually updated to support the latest OpenGL specification.

Direct Rendering Infrastructure, also known as the DRI, is a framework for allowing direct access to graphics hardware under the X Window System in a safe and efficient manner.

Mesa implements EGL 1.4

http://mesa3d.org/egl.html

Mesa implements OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0

http://mesa3d.org/opengles.html

Mesa 11.0.0 implements the OpenGL 4.1 API. OpenGL 4.1 is only available if requested at context creation because compatibility contexts are not supported.

Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a subsystem of the Linux kernel responsible for interfacing with GPUs of modern video cards. DRM exposes an API that user space programs can use to send commands and data to the GPU, and perform operations such as configuring the mode setting of the display. DRM was first developed as the kernel space component of the X Server's Direct Rendering Infrastructure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager

DRM is a kernel module that gives direct hardware access to DRI clients

module deals with DMA, AGP memory management, resource locking, and secure hardware access.

DRM supports the DRI in three major ways:

  • DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware
  • DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics hardware
  • DRM provides a generic DMA engine

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DRM/

mesa Gallium3D[edit]

Gallium3D is a new architecture for building 3D graphics drivers; Initially supporting Mesa and Linux graphics drivers

egl: Windowing system trackers similar to dri of EGL standard

nouveau: This is not actually a driver, but a set of routines common to all nv pipes

Mesa3D GL* through EGL & XCB[edit]

OpenGL ABI[edit]

  • ABI (Application Binary Interface) and runtime environment for applications using OpenGL under X11 on Linux enable applications using the OpenGL API for rendering to run on a variety of underlying implementations transparently. The intent is to address all of open source, commercial closed binary, OpenGL SI-based, and Mesa-based implementations.
  • SDK for developing apps using OpenGL. This includes header file locations, conventions for use of extensions, etc.
