Description om3i 2023-12-25 13:38:29 UTC 
Enabling vulkan may be sufficient. Supposedly, zink is able to run display servers for both X and wayland, and may even be faster.

Reproducible: Always

Feel free to write a patch and do all the reverse dependency testing...

Comment 3 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2024-01-11 18:26:54 UTC 
I'm planning to add this with mesa-24.

Can you even build zink with opengl support disabled?

No, although in that case, other gallium drivers can be disabled.

If just vulkan is required, opengl, including zink, can be completely disabled.
