[Dri-devel] Wrong default value for RADEON_TCL_FORCE_DISABLE

2003-10-25 Thread Morten Hustveit
In the Radeon driver, TCL is currently enabled by default. However, it seems like there is no guarantee that the same set of vertices will be transformed equally twice, so you get Z buffer artifacts when doing multipass rendering. I am told that the DRI developers believes this is not a bug,

I saw a few references to dri-solo on the mesa list, but didnt get to read much on what it actually is. What is it supposed to be? I grepped through some of the recent dri-devel IRC logs, but didnt see anything there either. --- This SF.net

I'll give keith's suggestion a shot, but I don't really understand how it's supposed to work. I'm not really much of an expert when it comes to the 3D driver. If someone could give me some pointers as to where to look and maybe a 500 foot description of how it should work, I'll see what I can
