            Bug ID: 95079
           Summary: GLX and OpenGL should be separated
           Product: Mesa
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Mesa core
          Assignee: mesa-dev at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: legrand.cedric.01 at gmail.com
        QA Contact: mesa-dev at lists.freedesktop.org

The OpenGL and GLX stacks are slightly related. To better support Wayland, they
should be separated somehow. IMHO, the changes should follow Nvidia names for
compatibility:

libGL.so: seems to be a wrapper around the two APIs
libGLX.so
libOpenGL.so: provides OpenGL functions without GLX dependency.

I know it is a very big task, but we can not depend on GLX to use OpenGL
anymore now that Wayland is coming.

I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, I could not find anything on this. Feel free
to ask for any information you want.
