A long time ago, the drivers used to do that. The problem was that some games
(e.g., Quake2) would use textures with the maximum size and software fallbacks
would be hit. With cards that have more than 2 textures unit (e.g., r200, i830,
etc.) this becomes an even bigger potential problem. One option would be to
have a driconf option to select the behavior (advertise max hw size vs advertise
max safe size).
There maybe other options available as well.
Could someone that has fglrx drivers installed and working try a test program
that binds the maximum number of maximum sized textures and see what happens?
With mipmaps a 2Kx2K textures is ~21MB. If there is no AGP memory available, 6
of them would exhaust the memory on even a 128MB card. Modifying multiarb to
use 2Kx2K textures would probably be the easiest thing to do. It might also be
interesting to see what the Nvidia drivers do.
