glx.so (this name may vary) for Xorg support for OpenGL glx.so will be in Xorg's extensions path and must be loaded by nf (refer to man pages for nf). libGL.so for the GL itself libGL.so must be accessible to the Linux library loader (refer to man pages for ldconfig). The OpenGL driver on Linux systems consists of two files: The open-source nouveau driver supports nVidia chipsets, but at the time of writing is not as complete as nVidia's closed-source drivers, 3D support may not be satisfactory. 3D performance is still better with the AMD Catalyst driver on modern cards, but this may change in the future.Ĭheck the feature matrix for a completion status. However since AMD released the specifications for their chips, the open source 'radeon' made its way to become a full-featured 2D and 3D driver.Īs of June 2013, most AMD chips will run well with the open source 'radeon' driver. If you have one of the newest chips, you may be forced to use the mediocre fglrx driver. If your CPU is an Intel one with built-in graphics, then the necessary open-source drivers come as a standard part of the Linux kernel. Nvidia provides generally excellent but non-open source drivers via the nvidia driver from their website.įglrx drives many modern AMD devices it is also closed-source, and available from AMD's website.įree/Open-Source options Proprietary drivers embed their own OpenGL library. Open source drivers actually make use of Mesa's OpenGL implementation. OpenGL is included in drivers, so you'll have to make sure drivers are properly installed if you want to enjoy programs using OpenGL. If your device supports 3D acceleration on GNU/Linux, it probably includes an OpenGL distribution. OpenGL is the primary 3D graphics API on GNU/Linux-based systems. Since it's a headers-only library, you do not need to compile a. Make sure the headers end in the /usr/include/glm directory. If GLM is not available in your distribution repository, you have the option to install it manually.
