Improving OpenGL Performance

Run mesa_glthread=true /path/to/game if the game uses OpenGL as it's graphics API

For Steam games you select the game, right click it to access Properties and put mesa_glthread=true in the launch options.
For a complete list of games that automatically have this enabled, check Mesa's configuration file.

Control Panel

There is no GUI graphics control panel by default, users must install one themselves.
