 <h1>Environment Variables</h1>

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


 <h2>LibGL environment variables</h2>

 <ul>
 <li>LIBGL_DEBUG - If defined debug information will be printed to stderr.
    If set to 'verbose' additional information will be printed.
 <li>LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH - colon-separated list of paths to search for DRI drivers
 <li>LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT - forces an indirect rendering context/connection.
 <li>LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE - if set, always use software rendering
 <li>LIBGL_NO_DRAWARRAYS - if set do not use DrawArrays GLX protocol (for debugging)
 <li>LIBGL_SHOW_FPS - print framerate to stdout based on the number of glXSwapBuffers
     calls per second.
 <li>LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE - disable DRI3 if set (the value does not matter)
 </ul>


 <h2>Core Mesa environment variables</h2>

 <ul>
 <li>MESA_NO_ASM - if set, disables all assembly language optimizations
 <li>MESA_NO_MMX - if set, disables Intel MMX optimizations
 <li>MESA_NO_3DNOW - if set, disables AMD 3DNow! optimizations
 <li>MESA_NO_SSE - if set, disables Intel SSE optimizations
 <li>MESA_DEBUG - if set, error messages are printed to stderr.  For example,
    if the application generates a GL_INVALID_ENUM error, a corresponding error
    message indicating where the error occurred, and possibly why, will be
    printed to stderr.<br>

    For release builds, MESA_DEBUG defaults to off (no debug output).

    MESA_DEBUG accepts the following comma-separated list of named
    flags, which adds extra behaviour to just set MESA_DEBUG=1:
    <ul>
      <li>silent - turn off debug messages. Only useful for debug builds.</li>
      <li>flush - flush after each drawing command</li>
      <li>incomplete_tex - extra debug messages when a texture is incomplete</li>
      <li>incomplete_fbo - extra debug messages when a fbo is incomplete</li>
      <li>context - create a debug context (see GLX_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB) and
          print error and performance messages to stderr (or MESA_LOG_FILE).</li>
    </ul>
 <li>MESA_LOG_FILE - specifies a file name for logging all errors, warnings,
 etc., rather than stderr
 <li>MESA_TEX_PROG - if set, implement conventional texture env modes with
 fragment programs (intended for developers only)
 <li>MESA_TNL_PROG - if set, implement conventional vertex transformation
 operations with vertex programs (intended for developers only).
 Setting this variable automatically sets the MESA_TEX_PROG variable as well.
 <li>MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE - can be used to enable/disable extensions.
 A value such as "GL_EXT_foo -GL_EXT_bar" will enable the GL_EXT_foo extension
 and disable the GL_EXT_bar extension.
 <li>MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR - The GL_EXTENSIONS string returned by Mesa is sorted
 by extension year.
 If this variable is set to year X, only extensions defined on or before year
 X will be reported.
 This is to work-around a bug in some games where the extension string is
 copied into a fixed-size buffer without truncating.
 If the extension string is too long, the buffer overrun can cause the game
 to crash.
 This is a work-around for that.
 <li>MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE - changes the value returned by
 glGetString(GL_VERSION) and possibly the GL API type.
 <ul>
 <li> The format should be MAJOR.MINOR[FC]
 <li> FC is an optional suffix that indicates a forward compatible context.
 This is only valid for versions &gt;= 3.0.
 <li> GL versions &lt; 3.0 are set to a compatibility (non-Core) profile
 <li> GL versions = 3.0, see below
 <li> GL versions &gt; 3.0 are set to a Core profile
 <li> Examples: 2.1, 3.0, 3.0FC, 3.1, 3.1FC
 <ul>
 <li> 2.1 - select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 2.1
 <li> 3.0 - select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 3.0
 <li> 3.0FC - select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version 3.0
 <li> 3.1 - select a Core profile with GL version 3.1
 <li> 3.1FC - select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version 3.1
 </ul>
 <li> Mesa may not really implement all the features of the given version.
 (for developers only)
 </ul>
 <li>MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE - changes the value returned by
 glGetString(GL_VERSION) for OpenGL ES.
 <ul>
 <li> The format should be MAJOR.MINOR
 <li> Examples: 2.0, 3.0, 3.1
 <li> Mesa may not really implement all the features of the given version.
 (for developers only)
 </ul>
 <li>MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE - changes the value returned by
 glGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION). Valid values are integers, such as
 "130".  Mesa will not really implement all the features of the given language version
 if it's higher than what's normally reported. (for developers only)
 <li>MESA_GLSL - <a href="shading.html#envvars">shading language compiler options</a>
 <li>MESA_NO_MINMAX_CACHE - when set, the minmax index cache is globally disabled.
 </ul>

	<li>GALLIUM_HUD_TOGGLE_SIGNAL - toggle visibility via user specified signal.
	Especially useful to toggle hud at specific points of application and
	disable for unencumbered viewing the rest of the time. For example, set
	GALLIUM_HUD_VISIBLE to false and GALLIUM_HUD_TOGGLE_SIGNAL to 10 (SIGUSR1).
	Use kill -10 <pid> to toggle the hud as desired.
	<li>GALLIUM_DRIVER - useful in combination with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 for
	choosing one of the software renderers "softpipe", "llvmpipe" or "swr".
	<li>GALLIUM_LOG_FILE - specifies a file for logging all errors, warnings, etc.
	rather than stderr.
	<li>GALLIUM_PRINT_OPTIONS - if non-zero, print all the Gallium environment
	variables which are used, and their current values.
	<li>GALLIUM_DUMP_CPU - if non-zero, print information about the CPU on start-up
	<li>TGSI_PRINT_SANITY - if set, do extra sanity checking on TGSI shaders and
	print any errors to stderr.
	<LI>DRAW_FSE - ???
	<LI>DRAW_NO_FSE - ???
	<li>DRAW_USE_LLVM - if set to zero, the draw module will not use LLVM to execute
	shaders, vertex fetch, etc.
	<li>ST_DEBUG - controls debug output from the Mesa/Gallium state tracker.
	Setting to "tgsi", for example, will print all the TGSI shaders.
	See src/mesa/state_tracker/st_debug.c for other options.
	</ul>

	<h3>Clover state tracker environment variables</h3>

	<ul>
	<li>CLOVER_EXTRA_BUILD_OPTIONS - allows specifying additional compiler and linker
	options. Specified options are appended after the options set by the OpenCL
	program in clBuildProgram.
	<li>CLOVER_EXTRA_COMPILE_OPTIONS - allows specifying additional compiler
	options. Specified options are appended after the options set by the OpenCL
	program in clCompileProgram.
	<li>CLOVER_EXTRA_LINK_OPTIONS - allows specifying additional linker
	options. Specified options are appended after the options set by the OpenCL
	program in clLinkProgram.
	</ul>


	<h3>Softpipe driver environment variables</h3>
	<ul>
	<li>SOFTPIPE_DUMP_FS - if set, the softpipe driver will print fragment shaders
	to stderr
	<li>SOFTPIPE_DUMP_GS - if set, the softpipe driver will print geometry shaders
	to stderr
	<li>SOFTPIPE_NO_RAST - if set, rasterization is no-op'd. For profiling purposes.
	<li>SOFTPIPE_USE_LLVM - if set, the softpipe driver will try to use LLVM JIT for
	vertex shading processing.
	</ul>


	<h3>LLVMpipe driver environment variables</h3>
	<ul>
	<li>LP_NO_RAST - if set LLVMpipe will no-op rasterization
	<li>LP_DEBUG - a comma-separated list of debug options is accepted. See the
	source code for details.
	<li>LP_PERF - a comma-separated list of options to selectively no-op various
	parts of the driver. See the source code for details.
	<li>LP_NUM_THREADS - an integer indicating how many threads to use for rendering.
	Zero turns off threading completely. The default value is the number of CPU
	cores present.
	</ul>

	<h3>VMware SVGA driver environment variables</h3>
	<ul>
	<li>SVGA_FORCE_SWTNL - force use of software vertex transformation
	<li>SVGA_NO_SWTNL - don't allow software vertex transformation fallbacks
	(will often result in incorrect rendering).
	<li>SVGA_DEBUG - for dumping shaders, constant buffers, etc. See the code
	for details.
	<li>See the driver code for other, lesser-used variables.
	</ul>


	<h3>VA-API state tracker environment variables</h3>
	<ul>
	<li>VAAPI_MPEG4_ENABLED - enable MPEG4 for VA-API, disabled by default.
	</ul>


	<h3>VC4 driver environment variables</h3>
	<ul>
	<li>VC4_DEBUG - a comma-separated list of named flags, which do various things:
	<ul>
	<li>cl - dump command list during creation</li>
	<li>qpu - dump generated QPU instructions</li>
	<li>qir - dump QPU IR during program compile</li>
	<li>nir - dump NIR during program compile</li>
	<li>tgsi - dump TGSI during program compile</li>
	<li>shaderdb - dump program compile information for shader-db analysis</li>
	<li>perf - print during performance-related events</li>
	<li>norast - skip actual hardware execution of commands</li>
	<li>always_flush - flush after each draw call</li>
	<li>always_sync - wait for finish after each flush</li>
	<li>dump - write a GPU command stream trace file (VC4 simulator only)</li>
	</ul>
	</ul>


	<p>
	Other Gallium drivers have their own environment variables. These may change
	frequently so the source code should be consulted for details.
