I tried: $ mtxrun --generate and also commenting out "source/generic/**" in mtx-install-imp-tikz.lua but with no success. Same error: Driver file ``pgfsys-luatex.def'' not found.
This file does not exist in my installation. $ find ~/.local/share/context -iname "*.def" /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-vtex.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-textures.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-common-postscript.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-dvisvgm4ht.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-dvipdfm.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-dvipdfmx.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-common-pdf.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-common-pdf-via-dvi.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-tex4ht.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-dvisvgm.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-dvi.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-common-svg.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-xetex.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-dvips.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/utilities/pgfutil-context.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgfplots/sys/pgflibrarypgfplots.surfshading.pgfsys-xetex.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgfplots/sys/pgflibrarypgfplots.surfshading.pgfsys-dvips.def /home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgfplots/sys/pgflibrarypgfplots.surfshading.pgfsys-dvipdfmx.def Il tried using some of these files by writing them in context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgf.cfg , by the way, but it either doesn't compile or produces a bad picture. Here are some quotes from the online pgf/tikz manual ( https://tikz.dev/drivers#section-formats ) : > 10.2.1 Selecting the Backend Driver > > When TEX typesets your document, it does not know which program you are going > to use to transform the .dvi-file. If your .dvi-file does not contain any > special commands, > this would be fine; but these days almost all .dvi-files contain lots of > special commands. > It is thus necessary to tell TEX which program you are going to use later on. > > Unfortunately, there is no “standard” way of telling this to TEX. > For the LATEX format a sophisticated mechanism exists inside the graphics > package > and pgf plugs into this mechanism.

Basicaly all the other drivers cited have serious shortcomings in processing TiKz pictures.) So, we need the driver: pgfsys-luatex.def . Or do we? The name of this driver is guessed at compile time.
