1 There are some programs that might use gles instead of opengl and we
2 have some openvg development as well.
3
4 Mesa git provides support for gles1, gles2 and openvg 1.0.1, shivavg has
5 an openvg on glx implementation, on the embedded field some drivers are
6 getting provided that are eventually compatible (so we should think
7 about extending eselect opengl to cover openvg and gles)
8
9 Right now what I find interesting are:
10
11 evas - works neatly out of box enabling gles, nothing done in portage yet.
12 mesa - provides everything in every platform up to a degree (so we can
13 test on a desktop), The mesa-9999 ebuild in the x11 overlay should
14 provide it.
15 cairo - cairo-gl need polishing, lots of polishing, cairo-vg might work,
16 I'll mess with the ebuild on the x11 overlay a bit more
17 sdl - seems to have gles support as well but I hadn't tried it yet
18 qt - it does support both, I already nagged the qt team about it.
19
20 I'd like to have a gles and an openvg useflag defined to:
21
22 gles - prefer using egl+opengles instead of glx+opengl
23 openvg - enable openvg support

25 Comments?
