Description Pablo Cholaky 2017-01-23 14:31:20 UTC
This is a feature request for media-libs/mesa to add a USE flag for glvnd, and properly add an ebuild for glvnd library quite similar as proposed as media-libs/libglvnd at https://github.com/sjnewbury/gentoo-gpu.

A week ago Fedora had approved this feature inside their repository as exposed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1259486 , and would be great to see this also working on Gentoo. Of course, maybe postponed ebuild for mesa-17.0.0, and libglvnd masked for testing proposes. Libglvnd have some tags version currently https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd/tree/v0.1.1 and still under heavy development, but should be ready for usage, Nvidia has also their drivers under glvnd ready status.

Using glvnd should make eselect-opengl as deprecated some day, at least until AMDGPU-PRO can successfully push a support to libglvnd.

Regards.
Comment 1 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2017-02-26 05:47:56 UTC
Yes, this definitely needs to happen.

I'm not sure glvnd is quite ready, but hopefully soon. It's kind of the only solution to the eselect opengl madness.
Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2017-05-07 11:56:14 UTC
Is anyone working with Nvidia to help them cut regular releases of their library, so that hopefully there will be a chance of this appearing in Gentoo at some point?
Comment 3 Sven 2017-12-10 00:34:02 UTC
Mesa 17.2.x is stable and 17.3.0 is around the corner. But I don't see anything glvnd related (no useflags, no libglvnd packages, etc.).

I'm currently trying to get nvidia-xrun running. It's a much cleaner solution than bublebee/primusrun, as far as I understand. It starts a new X server, where the whole screen is offloaded to the nvidia card. See http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/387.34/README/randr14.html for reference. I'm told it also works for Vulkan, where bumblebee currently fails.

As far as I understand, libglvnd would help as it would load the right libGL. Right now I have rely on LD_LIBRARY_PATH trickery which actually fails with steam for some reason.

Does Mesa now have full libglvnd support? If so, I'd like to see that arrive on Gentoo sooner rather than later.

1.0.0 was released recently:

What's the status of this?  Is help needed?  Of what kind?
Comment 7 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2018-11-24 23:05:27 UTC
Add support to Mesa. Add support to nvidia-drivers. Figure out what to do about eselect-opengl and other GL implementations. Do some testing.

That means the ebuilds, right?  Or is there something known to be missing from Mesa to support glvnd properly?
Comment 9 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2018-11-25 18:03:32 UTC
Right, just the ebuilds as far as I know. I think other distros are using libglvnd already.

media-libs/mesa ebuilds now have:

        libglvnd? (
                media-libs/libglvnd
                !app-eselect/eselect-opengl
        )

Maybe media-libs/libglvnd should be media-libs/libglvnd[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] ?

5 other packages have dependency on app-eselect/eselect-opengl, most notably x11-base/xorg-server (and this is not just a dependency, but pkg_postinst() actually calls `eselect opengl ...`). What is plan there?

Yes, thanks. Fixed.

Ideally we'll get rid of eselect-opengl all together. That's dependent on adding support to nvidia-drivers and doing... something, with media-libs/raspberrypi-userland{,-bin}. Suggestions welcome.

Maybe eselect opengl should check for presence of libglvnd, and if present, then do not perform any action?

>Maybe eselect opengl should check for presence of libglvnd, and if present, then do not perform any action?
Also another way is making libglvnd target for eselect-opengl
Comment 16 Maik 2019-08-14 21:21:52 UTC
I just added the bug reports for missing libglvnd support of nvidia-drivers and xorg-server
https://bugs.gentoo.org/692170
https://bugs.gentoo.org/692168
The missing glvnd setup on Gentoo has previously been causing me headaches, e.g. with x11-misc/virtualgl which simply doesn't work with plain eselect-opengl and nvidia drivers but now this is becoming more and more a draw-back due to newly added features being blocked. So I hope this could gain some momentum.
Comment 17 Maik 2019-09-02 19:18:32 UTC
IDK but I guess this bug can be closed since the media-libs/mesa ebuilds clearly support libglvnd. Any further discussion regarding libglvnd unmasking/eselect-opengl depreciation/arising problems should be continued in the tracker bug #692206.
Comment 18 Alexandru N. Barloiu 2019-09-02 19:24:21 UTC
The block was never in mesa. 

grep -ri libglvn /usr/portage/profiles/base/package.use.mask
media-libs/mesa libglvnd
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers libglvnd
Comment 19 Alexandru N. Barloiu 2019-09-02 19:27:52 UTC
Sorry. sorry. Didn't read the whole thing. My fault.
Comment 20 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2019-09-03 21:43:07 UTC
We're trying to sort out what to do with the pkgconfig files in Mesa vs libglvnd upstream. I hope that will be resolved soon, and then I'd like to target unmasking USE=libglvnd (and maybe package.use.force'ing?) for 19.2.0.

Maik, thank you very much for filing the tracker bug and working to get other packages in shape for the transition. It's very much appreciated. If you'd like, feel free to hang out on #gentoo-desktop on Freenode. It's usually where informal discussions about X/Mesa/Wayland/GNOME/KDE things happen.
Comment 21 Maik 2019-09-11 16:18:19 UTC
On pkgconfig files: due to bug #694030 I only now got aware of
https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd/pull/179
> That'll require changes to any other builds that specify a particular Mesa version
How could that possibly be done (discriminating the affected ebuilds) without ending in mental insanity?
Comment 22 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2019-09-19 04:00:36 UTC
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/merge_requests/2042 will be in 19.2.0.

Other than that, everything for Mesa is good to go. Marking as resolved.

This was about .pc files.

Beside this, the remaining problem was about headers, and fix is expected to be in Mesa 19.2.2:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/issues/1846
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/merge_requests/2179
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/8355658fa857536d948773b361c5ede770e637a3
"meson: skip installation of GLVND-provided headers"

(As workaround for collisions, currently media-libs/libglvnd ebuilds have --disable-headers option.)
