Software Rendering

[Benjamin Franzke]

Hi List,

We've added support for client-side software rendering using galliums
softpipe interface.
This is applies to clients that use the egl wayland platform.

If you for some reason want to test it, you can force it using:
EGL_SOFTWARE=true EGL_DRIVER=egl_gallium EGL_PLATFORM=wayland
clients/simple-client

You see, you need egl_gallium, that means NOT using
"--disable-gallium-egl" for mesa.
(So you should use EGL_DRIVER=egl_dri2 for running the compositor then.)

And as this is often asked, you can run compositor-x11 software
rendered as well.
We're not depending directly on dri2 anymore and moved buffer
management into egl.

Regards,
Ben
