[OpenIndiana-discuss] gfxdrm/OpenGL error with latest update

[Till Wegmueller]

Hello All

This is a known issue since the last Mesa update and seems to come from 
the changes Solaris did to it's platform Support by disabling Intel 
completely Upstream for Solaris and hardlinking the driver to Swrast. So 
yes We have effectively disabled intel acceleration due to the Mesa 
build system. It seems swrast is not up to the task though to handle 
modern GUI applications so I will have to bite the bullet and actually 
port that part of mesa back. This will take some time as the intel 
driver userland parts currently can't compile due to some C functions I 
will need to port. For some reason It did not install properly on my 
machine and I got a working OpenGL setup when I tested. I'll look into 
this in detail once I am back from Holidays. I think we will need to do 
the same thing we did with golang and split the OS detection so we can 
provide different configurations on illumos than Solaris.
