Technically, the extensions can be queried in run-time (and there are a few more that can be included easily). I don't see any reason why would anyone with compatible HW want to disable this, but who knows? Perhaps some purist dislikes that s3tc is lossy ;)

The other problem is that this is plib, i'm not sure this is simply going to be accepted into the tree after being coded properly. And to make it an option, i think we also need to modify it to get the option passed to plib.

Cheers,
Tiago

Well there is still lots of merit in using texture compression. It also allows us to stuff a lot more textures (or higher resolution ones) into VRAM even on higher end cards.


Definitely. I'm for texture compression (switchable, of course). But on
older / lower end hardware that might not be enough. So we need both.
