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

[Aurélien Larcher]

That's why I had not updated the stack, there were some notes in the
tickets and some discussions with Klaus and Alan back then.
There were a few patches parked in the gfx-drm branches.

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.
