The Division of Environmental Analysis (DEA) administers Caltrans' responsibilities under federal and state environmental law. The Program develops and maintains Caltrans environmental standards, policies, procedures, and practices that are implemented by the Department's 12 District Environmental. Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Normally, no environment variables need to be set. Most of theenvironment variables used by Mesa/Gallium are for debugging purposes,but they can sometimes be useful for debugging end-user issues.

LibGL environment variables¶

Drivers ENV
LIBGL_DEBUG

If defined debug information will be printed to stderr. If set toverbose additional information will be printed.

LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH

colon-separated list of paths to search for DRI drivers

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT

if set to true, forces an indirect rendering context/connection.

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE

if set to true, always use software rendering

LIBGL_NO_DRAWARRAYS

if set to true, do not use DrawArrays GLX protocol (fordebugging)

LIBGL_SHOW_FPS

print framerate to stdout based on the number of glXSwapBufferscalls per second.

LIBGL_DRI2_DISABLE

disable DRI2 if set to true.

LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE

Core Mesa environment variables¶

MESA_NO_ASM

if set, disables all assembly language optimizations

MESA_NO_MMX

if set, disables Intel MMX optimizations

MESA_NO_3DNOW

if set, disables AMD 3DNow! optimizations

MESA_NO_SSE

if set, disables Intel SSE optimizations

MESA_NO_ERROR

if set to 1, error checking is disabled as per KHR_no_error. Thiswill result in undefined behavior for invalid use of the API, butcan reduce CPU use for apps that are known to be error free.

MESA_DEBUG

if set, error messages are printed to stderr. For example, if theapplication generates a GL_INVALID_ENUM error, a correspondingerror message indicating where the error occurred, and possibly why,will be printed to stderr. For release builds, MESA_DEBUGdefaults to off (no debug output). MESA_DEBUG accepts thefollowing comma-separated list of named flags, which adds extrabehavior to just set MESA_DEBUG=1:

silent

turn off debug messages. Only useful for debug builds.

flush

flush after each drawing command

incomplete_tex

extra debug messages when a texture is incomplete

incomplete_fbo

extra debug messages when a FBO is incomplete

context

create a debug context (see GLX_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB) andprint error and performance messages to stderr (orMESA_LOG_FILE).

MESA_LOG_FILE

specifies a file name for logging all errors, warnings, etc., ratherthan stderr

MESA_TEX_PROG

if set, implement conventional texture env modes with fragmentprograms (intended for developers only)

MESA_TNL_PROG

if set, implement conventional vertex transformation operations withvertex programs (intended for developers only). Setting this variableautomatically sets the MESA_TEX_PROG variable as well.

MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE

can be used to enable/disable extensions. A value such asGL_EXT_foo-GL_EXT_bar will enable the GL_EXT_foo extensionand disable the GL_EXT_bar extension.

MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR

The GL_EXTENSIONS string returned by Mesa is sorted by extensionyear. If this variable is set to year X, only extensions defined onor before year X will be reported. This is to work-around a bug insome games where the extension string is copied into a fixed-sizebuffer without truncating. If the extension string is too long, thebuffer overrun can cause the game to crash. This is a work-around forthat.

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE

changes the value returned by glGetString(GL_VERSION) andpossibly the GL API type.

  • The format should be MAJOR.MINOR[FC|COMPAT]

  • FC is an optional suffix that indicates a forward compatiblecontext. This is only valid for versions >= 3.0.

  • COMPAT is an optional suffix that indicates a compatibilitycontext or GL_ARB_compatibility support. This is only validfor versions >= 3.1.

  • GL versions <= 3.0 are set to a compatibility (non-Core) profile

  • GL versions = 3.1, depending on the driver, it may or may not havethe ARB_compatibility extension enabled.

  • GL versions >= 3.2 are set to a Core profile

  • Examples:

    2.1

    select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 2.1.

    3.0

    select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 3.0.

    3.0FC

    select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version 3.0.

    3.1

    select GL version 3.1 with GL_ARB_compatibility enabled perthe driver default.

    3.1FC

    select GL version 3.1 with forward compatibility andGL_ARB_compatibility disabled.

    3.1COMPAT

    select GL version 3.1 with GL_ARB_compatibility enabled.

    X.Y

    override GL version to X.Y without changing the profile.

    X.YFC

    select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version X.Y.

    X.YCOMPAT

    select a Compatibility profile with GL version X.Y.

  • Mesa may not really implement all the features of the givenversion. (for developers only)

MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE

changes the value returned by glGetString(GL_VERSION) for OpenGLES.

  • The format should be MAJOR.MINOR

  • Examples: 2.0, 3.0, 3.1

  • Mesa may not really implement all the features of the givenversion. (for developers only)

MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE

changes the value returned byglGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION). Valid values areintegers, such as 130. Mesa will not really implement all thefeatures of the given language version if it’s higher than what’snormally reported. (for developers only)

MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE

if set to true, disables the GLSL shader cache. If set tofalse, enables the GLSL shader cache when it is disabled bydefault.

MESA_GLSL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE

if set, determines the maximum size of the on-disk cache of compiledGLSL programs. Should be set to a number optionally followed byK, M, or G to specify a size in kilobytes, megabytes, orgigabytes. By default, gigabytes will be assumed. And if unset, amaximum size of 1GB will be used.

Note

A separate cache might be created for each architecture that Mesa isinstalled for on your system. For example under the default settingsyou may end up with a 1GB cache for x86_64 and another 1GB cache fori386.

MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DIR

if set, determines the directory to be used for the on-disk cache ofcompiled GLSL programs. If this variable is not set, then the cachewill be stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/mesa_shader_cache (if thatvariable is set), or else within .cache/mesa_shader_cache withinthe user’s home directory.

MESA_GLSL
MESA_NO_MINMAX_CACHE

when set, the minmax index cache is globally disabled.

MESA_SHADER_CAPTURE_PATH

see Capturing Shaders

MESA_SHADER_DUMP_PATH and MESA_SHADER_READ_PATH

see Experimenting with ShaderReplacements

MESA_VK_VERSION_OVERRIDE

changes the Vulkan physical device version as returned inVkPhysicalDeviceProperties::apiVersion.

  • The format should be MAJOR.MINOR[.PATCH]

  • This will not let you force a version higher than the driver’sinstance version as advertised by vkEnumerateInstanceVersion

  • This can be very useful for debugging but some features may not beimplemented correctly. (For developers only)

MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE

chooses a different driver binary such as etnaviv or zink.
