I'm a bit confused about this: I was under the impression that VMware Tools for Windows used your DirectX state tracker and a WGL version of Mesa, talking to the svga Gallium driver. How does it actually work? What do you normally use the DirectX 9 state tracker with? > The details of the closed code aren't terribly important as they could > always be changed. Sure, but it currently is the only Gallium user that supports the SM3 model and thus the only one that really needs arbitrary semantic indices, and puts constraints on them. >> The correct value in this case seems to be 219 = 14 * 16 SM3 semantics >> - 5 for COLOR0, COLOR1, PSIZE0, POSITION0, FOG0 which have specific >> TGSI semantics which they need to mapped to/from. > > Agree, though I'd opt for 255 as a round number. The problem with this is that you only have 14 SM3 semantics with 16 indices each, so you can't map 256 generic indices into the VMware interface, or directly into an SM3 shader. You only have 14 * 16 minus the ones used for non-GENERIC semantics (the one mentioned above). And of course, if you choose a smaller number, you can't map SM3 _into_ Gallium, so you need to choose the exact number required for SM3. Tying Gallium in this way to SM3 is surely a bit ugly, but it's just a constant, and I don't see any other way to implement SM3 without doing linkage in software in the r600 and svga drivers and/or in SM3 state trackers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
