Mesa config file documentation
As of Mesa 3.1 beta 2, a config file can be used to configure various
Mesa parameters. For example, extensions can be enable/disabled,
glHints can be specified, etc. More config options will be added
in the future.
The config file uses a Lisp-like syntax.
Here's Keith's description of the file with a few examples.
;; -*-lisp-*-
;;
;; KW: New mesa configuration file, syntax following a lisp style.
;;
;; valid syntax:
;;
;; (config-mesa version configs)
;;
;; where:
;; version - is the version number of mesa for which the configuration
;; was written. Future versions will use this to check for upwards
;; compatibility. There is however no guarentee that old configurations
;; will continue to be respected.
;;
;; configs - is a list of valid configuration lists, as specified by:
;;
;; (default-hint variable value)
;; (disable-extension name)
;; (fx-catch-signals {true|false})
;;
;; Mesa will look for an environment variable MESA_CONFIG, and try to
;; execute that profile. Otherwise, it will fallback to the profile
;; with the same name as the current mesa version. As default
;; profiles should normally be empty or near-empty, this should be
;; sufficiently powerful.
;;
;; Guareenteed to be an empty config.
;;
(config-mesa empty ())
;; Default profile - should normally be an empty list of
;; configurations.
