NAME
     ogl-select - boot time selection of OpenGL vendor files

DESCRIPTION
     ogl-select is a service for the Service Management  Facility
     (SMF)   under  the  identifier  svc:/application/opengl/ogl-
     select 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 confi-
     gurations with special needs  a  property  can  be  used  to
     select  the  vendor.   The  property is described in the SMF
     PROPERTIES section below.

     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 ven-
     dor registry will be used to select the OpenGL  headers  and
     libraries.   The  name reported by the driver can be verfied
     with constype(1).  If  the  system  configuration  does  not
     match  the desired OpenGL vendor, a SMF property can be used
     to force the vendor selection.

SMF PROPERTIES
     Configuration properties for ogl-select program are  managed
     by  the  service management facility, smf(5), under the ser-
     vice identifier:

     svc:/application/opengl/ogl-select
     Use svccfg(1M) to make configuration  changes  and  to  view
     configuration information for this service.

     These properties may be set for ogl-select:

     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".

     /var/svc/manifest/opengl/ogl-select.xml

     /lib/svc/method/ogl-select    The SMF method run by the man-
