Or is it 'obvious'? Because apparently Portal works faster via wine-d3d9 than natively [1]. Sometimes a thin 'emulation' of good API may yield better results than use of a poor API.

That sounds like an awful device to run Gentoo on. I'd like to require libglvnd for all libGL providers and get rid of app-eselect/eselect-opengl.

It provides libGL, libGLESv1_CM, libGLESv2, etc, and then dispatches those calls to the underlying hardware driver. This allows a single libGL.so to work for Mesa and nvidia-drivers for example. If media-libs/raspberrypi-userland doesn't support libglvnd (which it doesn't as far as I can tell) that kind of throws a wrench in the plan for IMO minimal benefit.

That sounds like an awful device to run Gentoo on. Compiling on a 256 MB Raspberry Pi 1 Model B is of course no joy. Before mine broke, I plugged the SD card into another, faster ARM computer, chrooted in and emerged updates. That was ok. I'd like to require libglvnd for all libGL providers and get rid of app-eselect/eselect-opengl. What do you suggest we do about raspberrypi-userland? I suggest to drop eselect-opengl and its dependency in raspberrypi-userland. raspberrypi-userland installs into /opt anyway so should not conflict with anything else. And those people who really need acceleration on 256 MB devices will have to set the proper environment variables. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
