Chapter 8. Graphics Drivers

libgbm-1.0.0

Introduction to libgbm

The libgbm library provides API functions for managing the graphical buffer. It is utilized by various libraries and applications like Wayland compositors. Mesa supplies libgbm, but requires dependencies that aren't needed in order to install just libgbm. This package allows you to install just the library. If you intend to install Mesa-25.2.2, you can install libgbm from that package if you wish. There is no major difference.
