After having problems with the Nvida driver installation I could not get
fullscreen antialiasing (FSAA) to work with the new drivers. After doing
quite a few tweaks and checking and re-checking my installation and
configuration I e-mailed Nvidia and got the following responce:
****************************************************************************
There was a change in the FSAA with the 1251 drivers that didnt get updated
with the documentation. The __GL_FSAA_QUALITY variable is no longer
correct. It is now __GL_FSAA_MODE. Setting it to 3 will enable 1.5x1.5,
and setting it to 4 with enable 2x2. Any other value for your card will not
provide FSAA.
****************************************************************************
This is an undocumented change in the drivers and may interest those who
have upgraded and then lost some functionality.
My system specs are below for those interested:
AMD 1.333GHz 266
A7M266
Geforce2 GTS 64MB
Mandrake Linux 7.2
Kernel 2.2.17-21mdk
XFree86 Version 4.0.3
FSAA is great feature of these drivers and makes onscreen 3D modeling look
incredible.
