11<p>
12Mesa supports the following environment variables:
13</p>
14<ul>
Brian Paulb07d6a82004-02-02 22:35:55 +000015<li>MESA_NO_ASM - if set, disables all assembly language optimizations
16<li>MESA_NO_MMX - if set, disables Intel MMX optimizations
17<li>MESA_NO_3DNOW - if set, disables AMD 3DNow! optimizations
18<li>MESA_NO_SSE - if set, disables Intel SSE optimizations
Brian Pauleacd3472005-08-19 23:34:10 +000019<li>MESA_DEBUG - if set, error messages are printed to stderr.
20If the value of MESA_DEBUG is "FP" floating point arithmetic errors will
21generate exceptions.
Brian Paulb07d6a82004-02-02 22:35:55 +000022<li>MESA_NO_DITHER - if set, disables dithering, overriding glEnable(GL_DITHER)
23</ul>
24
25<p>
26The following environment variables are only applicable to the Xlib/X11
27software driver:
28</p>
29<ul>
Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +000030<li>MESA_RGB_VISUAL - specifies the X visual and depth for RGB mode (X only)
31<li>MESA_CI_VISUAL - specifies the X visual and depth for CI mode (X only)
32<li>MESA_BACK_BUFFER - specifies how to implement the back color buffer (X only)
Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +000033<li>MESA_GAMMA - gamma correction coefficients (X only)
34<li>MESA_XSYNC - enable synchronous X behavior (for X debugging only)
Brian Paulb07d6a82004-02-02 22:35:55 +000035<li>MESA_GLX_FORCE_CI - if set, force GLX to treak 8bpp visuals as CI visuals
36<li>MESA_GLX_FX - set to either "fullscreen" for full-screen rendering,
37 "window" to render into a window, or "disable" to disable the Glide driver.
Brian Paul4f6b1ad2004-07-23 15:49:12 +000038<li>MESA_GLX_FORCE_ALPHA - if set, forces RGB windows to have an alpha channel.
Brian Pauldfa5c2b2004-07-23 23:32:15 +000039<li>MESA_GLX_DEPTH_BITS - specifies default number of bits for depth buffer.
Brian Paul8894a552005-11-05 03:12:06 +000040<li>MESA_GLX_ALPHA_BITS - specifies default number of bits for alpha channel.
Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +000041</ul>
