Can I use libgles2-mesa?

[loganmc10]

Sorry I know this isn't exactly the right place for questions... But can I use libgles2-mesa with this VC4 driver? I read all these things saying that this driver "disables" GLES2, but I assume they mean the Broadcom closed-source implementation of GLES2.

There are some GLES extensions (OES_depth_texture for instance) that are not implemented in the closed-source driver, so I was hoping to be able to use libgles2-mesa and this driver.

Also, is that crazy to do? Is there any downside to doing this? I don't want to use full OpenGL because some applications assume that if you have OpenGL, you must be able to handle all kinds of fancy stuff, whereas I just want to run the application in "GLES" mode.

Closing because it's not a bug report.

Yes, the standard Mesa GLES2 should work just fine. Note that some applications will perform worse in GLES2 mode because GLES2 is a gutted version of real GL, so they have bad codepaths to work around missing GLES features.
