Sigh. You're right, of course. Surface state is fine as is---we iterate over the combined number of samplers in both program, and fill in both tables using each stage's SamplerUnits map. Duplicates will work fine. Sampler state and SDC is broken for SSO programs where both stages do texturing. I can fix this by emitting separate per-stage tables. For linked programs---by far more common---we want to avoid doing that since it just wastes batch space and CPU time. Is there a good way to detect when we're in the SSO case? If so, it should be easy to fix in a way that remains optimal for non-SSO. I also seriously question whether we should be advertising EXT_sso. As Eric said, almost nobody uses it (they want ARB_sso), and we have barely any test cases (a mere 5 basic tests). oglconform only has ARB_sso tests...none for EXT_sso. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
