Mesa update to 10.0 and Software OpenGL
The Mesa package (along with its subpackages) has been updated to 10.0. This provides us the latest and greatest DRI support for the opensource graphics drivers in the Linux kernel.
One notable difference in this update for Void is that support for software OpenGL
won’t be installed by default anymore as part of the xorg
meta-pkg;
users wishing to have this functionality must install the mesa-swraster-dri
package:
# xbps-install -Sy mesa-swraster-dri
Or if it’s already installed, change its installation type
to manual
to
keep it permanently:
# xbps-pkgdb -m manual mesa-swraster-dri
Please note that after upgrading your system, the
mesa-swraster-dri
package will be detected as orphan (unless it was previously installed manually), and it must be explicited changed tomanual
installation mode to keep it.
