I have just rebuilt my Dell Precision T1650 Workstation with new drives and wanted a document of the current hardware and drivers. Using the Info Centre tool from System, I went to Graphics and found that when I selected OpenGL (EGL). A similar thing happened with OpenCL but I found that tool with YaST. A search on OpenSuse Software produced no result.
eglinfo is in Mesa-demo-egl (at least here on Tumbleweed).

The correct package for Tumbleweed is libdisplay-info-tools
Thanks. I looked at that and installed that package, but it doesn’t make any difference. I already had Mesa-demo & Mesa-demo-x installed. I will submit a bug report (as soon as I can find my log-in info!) and see what I get.
For the record, this is the About this System from Info Centre:
As OrosoBruno stated, elginfo is in Mesa-demo-egl on Tumbleweed.
Here’s the RPM for Leap. It does contain eglinfo.
Click the big title at the top to download it.
Mesa-demo-egl-9.0.0-160000.1.7 RPM for x86_64
You can probably open it with Ark and just copy eglinfo into /usr/bin if you have dependency problems or if it wants to replace something etc.
Don’t even suggest that. Once a user starts doing things like that there is no way we can support them, since the system does not hold proper package info in the rpmdb.
Additionally it is recommended to point to the official openSUSE mirrors directly.
There is a “Community” package by @Sauerland here
I installed it on a Leap 15.6 KDE and Kinfocenter then displays the EGL data correctly.
Bug 1235680 sort of explains the 15.6 absent eglinfo situation. I got the v9 version before it disappeared IIRC from repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Leap_15.6/.
Thank you OrsoBruno. That worked fine. Problem solved.
