OSMesa is used since Octave 4.0 for offscreen rendering from OpenGL toolkits FLTK and Qt. | |||
This enables printing without a X display, for example when ssh'ing to a remote machine, or if the figure is invisible ({{bug|33180}}). | |||

Floating point textures are disabled by default due to patent restrictions. We should check if we can enable it with "--enable-texture-float" | Floating point textures are disabled by default due to patent restrictions. We should check if we can enable it with "--enable-texture-float" | ||
== known problems == | |||
Unfortunately, there are several known problems with using on-screen Mesa and OSMesa at the same time. | |||
The --without-OSMesa configure can be used to disable OSMesa if a problem is encountered. | |||
* {{bug|44478}} segmentation fault when using proprietary Nvidia drivers | |||
* {{bug|44979}} clumsy/missing configure check, relies on runtime failure | |||
* {{bug|44338}} doesn't work at all on Windows | |||
* [https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424059 LP #1424059] libosmesa6 is not installable on Ubuntu 14.04 with HWE updates | |||
* {{bug|50479}} doesn't work at all with libglvnd, now standard in most distributions | |||
=== workarounds === | |||
* Preload the Mesa libGL.so, for example | |||
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so | |||
== Reporting Bugs == | |||
* Please include the output of | |||
glxinfo | grep "^OpenGL \(renderer\|core profile version\|vendor\)" |
