I'm interested in trying the new OpenGL backend for Java3D, but it requires GLX v 1.3 to be available, and I'm running DRI drivers on a Radeon Mobility M7, where only GLX v 1.2 is available. See http://java. sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/2d/new_features.html#ogl
D'oh...
There was some talk a few days ago on this list about GLX version numbers, but I didn't follow that discussion. Anyone have any idea of how to get GLX v 1.3 support with the dri drivers?
Write a bunch of code. There's currently no support for fbconfigs or pbuffers in any of the DRI code. There's a branch where work on this was being done, but it has fallen out of date with the trunk. I hope to bring it up to date this weekend. The goal of the current branch is to get fbconfigs working. That's shouldn't take /too much/ more work.
pbuffers are a totally different kettle of fish. There are some aspects of pbuffers that I don't fully understand that may make the implementation very difficult. Is it valid to bind a pbuffer to a direct context, unbind it, then rebind it to an indirect context? There's also the memory management issue, but I think that's solvable for the short-term without too much pain.
Sounds like a good topic for Monday's IRC meeting...
