Abstract
This chapter provides a brief overview of the components of the Linux desktop’s graphics stack and their related profiling tools. This overview includes hardware components, kernel space components, such as the DRM interface, as well as user space components, such as libdrm, Mesa, Pixman, and Cairo. The last two sections cover two different OpenGL profiling and debugging tools, buGLe and Apitrace.
