-Mesa supports the following environment variables:
+Normally, no environment variables need to be set.  Most of the environment
+variables used by Mesa/Gallium are for debugging purposes, but they can
+sometimes be useful for debugging end-user issues.

+<li>LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH - colon-separated list of paths to search for DRI drivers
+<li>LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT - forces an indirect rendering context/connection.
+<li>LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE - if set, always use software rendering
+<li>LIBGL_NO_DRAWARRAYS - if set do not use DrawArrays GLX protocol (for debugging)

+<li>GALLIUM_NOPPC - if non-zero, do not use PPC runtime code generation for

+    parts of the driver.  See the source code for details.
+<li>LP_NUM_THREADS - an integer indicating how many threads to use for rendering.
+    Zero turns of threading completely.  The default value is the number of CPU
+    cores present.
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>
+Other Gallium drivers have their own environment variables.  These may change
+frequently so the source code should be consulted for details.
