[Interest] Platform eglfs and OpenGL

[Agocs Laszlo]

Not at the moment. There were some efforts in the past to add compositing of GL-based windows into eglfs, similarly to how sw-rendered QWidget windows are handled, but these got cancelled in favour of the upcoming QOpenGLWidget and QQuickWidget APIs which will provide a modern replacement for QGLWidget that is functional on all platforms. The bad news is that QOpenGLWidget is targeted for 5.4 and will not make it into 5.3.

Designs like hellogl_es2 (where a QGLWidget sits "inside" a widget window) should be avoided for the time being.

Best regards,
Laszlo

Subject: [Interest] Platform eglfs and OpenGL

Is there a way to use OpenGL on an embedded system with Qt5 (linuxfb and eglf) and QWidgets?
Reading the docs,
http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-dev/embedded-linux.html#eglfs
it looks like this is not supported without using X11 or Wayland, or I'm wrong?

In concrete this means: is it possible to fix
qtbase/examples/opengl/hellogl_es2
so it could be started on such a system?

Many thanks,
Peter
