OK, a follow-up. I suspect that efl (I am using 1.8.3 by the way) is doing something to load the DRI driver and is failing if it can't. For armsoc, the DRI support is built in. So for example when I run es2gears, it gives a warning about not being able to load armsoc_dri.so but it continues and works.
I ran enlightenment_start with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and got the following: main init win: 1366x768 for e6 screen region screen 0x1e4bfc0: 0 0 1366x768 libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/tls/armsoc_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) libGL: OpenDriver: trying ${ORIGIN}/dri/tls/armsoc_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying ${ORIGIN}/dri/armsoc_dri.so libGL error: dlopen ${ORIGIN}/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed (${ORIGIN}/dri/armsoc_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/tls/armsoc_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/armsoc_dri.so libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/armsoc_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) libGL error: unable to load driver: armsoc_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: armsoc libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/swrast_dri.so So it is complaining about the DRI driver (armsoc_dri.so) , not the main video driver (armsoc_drv.so). Is explicit load of the DRI driver by efl to check if it is there, and if so, can someone tell me how to turn it off or comment it out? The problem may not be this at all, but I would like to eliminate this issue as a possiblity. Thanks. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Cannot use OpenGL composite support Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2013 12:21:08 -0500 From: Chris Seekamp <crsb...@comcast.net> Reply-To: cseek...@acm.org To: Enlightenment Devel <enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Hi guys. I am trying to get the OpenGL composite support working with the latest e17 enlightenment on Samsung Chromebook (armhf) running debian jessie. When I try switching to OpenGL it pops up the message box saying it can't be done. According to Jeff Hoogland, the OpenGL stuff is compiled into evas etc. I have GLS2 installed and in fact I now have es2gears running fine. Is e doing something special or unusual to check for the proper OpenGL support? I did run enlightenment_start under strace and I did see a message of the form: libEGL error: failed to load driver: armsoc Obviously armsoc loads fine or X would not even work. And I don't get this complaint from anything else, including es2gears. The armsoc_drv.so is under /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers via a soft link. I tried changing its group to video (saw this suggestion somewhere) and added the user to the group but it didn't help. At this point I don't know if the libEFL error is a red herring or the real issue. Can someone give me some clues as to how I might track this down?
