OpenGL is properly working if there is a direct rendering context.
If LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT is set VirtualBox falls back to Mesa's software
rasterizer. So in order to get OpenGL the driver is now whitelisted in
the opengltest.
GLPlatform is extended to recognize the VirtualBox driver and has new
methods to report whether it is a virtual machine and VirtualBox. The
detection is rather limited as we don't get access to the underlying
hardware, so we do not know whether the features are really supported.
We need to trust the driver here in announcing the right extensions.
The driver does not provide glxQueryDrawable although it is part of
GLX 1.3. A hack is added in the glxbackend to set the function pointer to
NULL. This can unfortunately not be done in glxResolveFunctions() as
QueryDrawable seems not to be provided by an extension (at least not
listed in the OpenGL registry) and getProcAddress resolves a function but
it only prints an OpenGL Warning to stderr.
As a note: the driver reports that it is using XSHM for
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.

According to the OpenGL ABI for Linux GLX 1.3 is a minimum requirement.
Therefore we do not need to resolve the symbols which are present in that
version.
KWin did always require at least 1.3, for all the resolved functions
there were checks in the Scene, but they might have been incorrect.
Instead now the GLX version is checked and OpenGL compositing is blocked
if there is not at least GLX 1.3.

The Egl backend is decoupled from the OpenGL ES build option which makes
it possible to use it as a replacement for glx.
To make this possible a new build flag is added when egl is available at
compile time and any egl specific code is now ifdefed with this flag
instead of the gles flag. In addition at runtime a windowing system enum
value is passed to the various detect methods to have egl/glx specific
detection for e.g. function pointer resolving.
By default egl is used if compiled with OpenGL ES, otherwise glx is used.
But in the non-gles case the windowing system can be selected through the
new environment variable KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE. Setting this variable to
"egl" the EglOnXBackend is used.
REVIEW: 106632
The handling for creating and managing the OpenGL context is
split out of the SceneOpenGL into the abstract OpenGLBackend
and it's two subclasses GlxBackend and EglOnXBackend.
The backends take care of creating the OpenGL context on the
windowing system, e.g. on glx an OpenGL context on the overlay
window is created and in the egl case an EGL context is created.
This means that the SceneOpenGL itself does not have to care
about the specific underlying infrastructure.
Furthermore the backend provides the Textures for the specific
texture from pixmap operations. For that in each of the backend
files an additional subclass of the TexturePrivate is defined.
These subclasses hold the EglImage and GLXPixmap respectively.
The backend is able to create such a private texture and for
that the ctor of the Texture is changed to take the backend as
a parameter and the Scene provides a factory method for
creating Textures. To make this work inside Window the Textures
are now hold as pointers which seems a better choice anyway as
to the member functions pointers are passed.
According to Pierre-Loup Griffais (Plagman on IRC) this is causing
choppy VDPAU video playback when compositing is enabled.
Removing these calls doesn't seem to cause any regressions, and the
commit that added them doesn't give a reason. So let's just get rid
of them for now.
This commit should be cherry-picked to the stable branch if no one
else notices any regressions.

This means the GLPlatform is filled with values from the
context actually used for Compositing and if XRender
compositing is used no OpenGL information is logged.
Strict binding follows the driver (GLPlattform) unless
the user has a config value specified in the kwinrc.
For this a new property is added to Options to indicate
whether strict binding is user defined or follows the
driver. In case of driver the strict binding option is
set when OpenGL compositor starts up.
This makes kwin in OpenGL2 mode more coherent with kwin_gles.
Despite some fullscreen effects they should now make the same
(pure) OpenGL calls.

This patch changes the behavior of strictly bound textures such that
they are only updated if the corresponding window has been damaged.
Additionally GLTexture now keeps track of the current filter and
wrapmode setting.
REVIEW: 103655
This brings some consistency with GLES2 where also one shader
is always on the stack and allows to use the test whether a shader
is bound to see if the GL2 code path is used. This fixes an issue
with cover/flip switch which tested for a bound shader before the
shader was pushed in multi screen setups.
As well it should bring some improvements as the simple screen
shader is not unbound and rebound in each rendered frame.

Instead of calculating the elapsed time from epoch clock, using
a QElapsedTimer as well as reusing the timer object instead of
creating a new one in the scene each frame.

Additionally:
- hide the GLTexture implementation using dpointers
- drop the unused function SceneOpenGL::Texture::optimizeBindDamage()
- Texture::load now loads a new texture and does not update the existing one

Removes the Extension::glxAvailable() from kwinglobals and
implements the functionality in CompositingPrefs, where it
is only needed. There used to be one additional check in
scene_opengl_glx.cpp which is moved into composite.cpp
before the OpenGL Scene is created.
REVIEW: 102002
All the functionality of Overlay Window is moved to its own class
OverlayWindow. It is created and owned by class Scene, since almost
all function calls are called from this class.
REVIEW: 101866
Adding a new method to retrieve whether the OpenGL implementation
uses any kind of software emulation and no software emulation can
provide GLSL support, even if it claims so.
Thanks to Maurel for testing again and again proposed patches.
BUG: 271166
If OpenGL compositing is tried in GLX with a Mesa driver not
at least 7.10 we stop OpenGL compositing.
For OpenGL ES we just assume that all Mesa drivers are fine, so
no requirement.
This solves the regression with NVIDIA drivers resulting in a black screen.
Apparently NVIDIA does not support glXCopySubBuffer and the copying of pixels
fails with a shader bound.
So unbinding the shader before copying the pixels and rebinding the shader
afterwards resolves the issue.
This allows to remove the temporary hack to make NVIDIA work, again.
Apparently glXQueryDrawable does not work in NVIDIA blob for binding
a texture from an icon. This fixes an abort, but the root cause should
be found and fixed properly.

Our primary target is Texture From Pixmap and it is supported
by all important drivers nowadays. If a driver is not able to
support TFP using OpenGL at all is probably no good idea and
XRender is more suited.
