<H1>Environment Variables</H1>
<p>
Mesa supports the following environment variables:
</p>
<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.
If the value of MESA_DEBUG is "FP" floating point arithmetic errors will
generate exceptions.
<li>MESA_NO_DITHER - if set, disables dithering, overriding glEnable(GL_DITHER)
<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_GLSL - <a href="shading.html#envvars">shading language options</a>
</ul>
<p>
The following are only applicable to the Xlib software driver.
See the <A HREF="xlibdriver.html">Xlib software driver page</A> for details.
</p>
<ul>
<li>MESA_RGB_VISUAL - specifies the X visual and depth for RGB mode
<li>MESA_CI_VISUAL - specifies the X visual and depth for CI mode
<li>MESA_BACK_BUFFER - specifies how to implement the back color buffer,
either "pixmap" or "ximage"
<li>MESA_GAMMA - gamma correction coefficients for red, green, blue channels
<li>MESA_XSYNC - enable synchronous X behavior (for debugging only)
<li>MESA_GLX_FORCE_CI - if set, force GLX to treat 8bpp visuals as CI visuals
<li>MESA_GLX_FX - set to either "fullscreen" for full-screen rendering,
"window" to render into a window, or "disable" to disable the Glide driver.
<li>MESA_GLX_FORCE_ALPHA - if set, forces RGB windows to have an alpha channel.
<li>MESA_GLX_DEPTH_BITS - specifies default number of bits for depth buffer.
<li>MESA_GLX_ALPHA_BITS - specifies default number of bits for alpha channel.
</ul>
