For all those who don't know yet: ATI has released a closed source driver which should support most ATI based video cards. You can grab it on www.ati.com. (It's an rpm though)
This is quite nice, since the open source drivers support almost no advanced features of the newer cards. Now the problem is, I just started with OpenGL programming and wanted to try out those cool features recent 3d chips offer: vertex & pixel shaders, ATI Truform, etc. But for some reason _none_ of these functions, not even the simplest OpenGL 1.3/1.4 extensions (let alone ATI stuff) seem to be implemented in their GL library/header files. The w32 version supports them of course. As glxinfo reports the extended capabilities of my Radeon 9000, it just may be the case that driver actually has all needed support, but only the lib is fairly outdated. I'm working on this, but my coding abilities are limited. Could someone of the dri developers look into that stuff? I would be very happy, thanks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies! Can't afford IT training?
