Re: [Flightgear-devel] ATIScreenSizeHack() in main.cxx
Hi Curt, > Shouldn't this default to a false value? this is enabled by default, because it seemeds to have no effect on NVidia hardware, but a big positive effect on ATI. You may remember seeing lots of reports about quarter screen size issues. The warning could be moved to a lower loglevel or removed all together, as it seems to have no negative side-effects on NVidia indeed.

[Flightgear-devel] ATIScreenSizeHack() in main.cxx
Recently I noticed an alert on my console when starting up the git version of FlightGear: "Enabling ATI viewport hack" This is odd because I have nvidia hardware. I tracked down that this message was coming from main.cxx, specifically this chuck of code: if (fgGetBool("/sim/ati-viewport-hack", true)) { SG_LOG(SG_GENERAL, SG_ALERT, "Enabling ATI viewport hack"); ATIScreenSizeHack(); } This takes the value of /sim/ati-viewport-hack or true if the value is not set at all (like on my nvidia based system.) Shouldn't this default to a false value? I can change the default in git unless someone has a specific reason why it should be the other way? Any objections to defaulting this to 'false'? (I think this is James code from 'git blame') Thanks, Curt. -- Curtis Olson: http://www.atiak.com - http://aem.umn.edu/~uav/ http://www.flightgear.org - http://gallinazo.flightgear.org -- Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
