For all those who don't know yet:
ATI has released a closed source driver which should support most ATI based
video cards. You can grab it on www.ati.com. (It's an rpm though)
This is quite nice, since the open source drivers support almost no advanced
features of the newer cards.
Now the problem is, I just started with OpenGL programming and wanted to try
out those cool features recent 3d chips offer: vertex & pixel shaders, ATI
Truform, etc.
But for some reason _none_ of these functions, not even the simplest OpenGL
1.3/1.4 extensions (let alone ATI stuff) seem to be implemented in their GL
library/header files.
You should be able to use the Mesa/DRI/XFree86 gl.h and glext.h headers.
glext.h has most of the newest extensions.
The w32 version supports them of course.
As glxinfo reports the extended capabilities of my Radeon 9000,
I'm interesting in seeing the output of 'glxinfo' to see what extensions are
supported. I haven't had time to try the driver myself yet.
it just may be
the case that driver actually has all needed support, but only the lib is
fairly outdated.
I'm working on this, but my coding abilities are limited.
Could someone of the dri developers look into that stuff?
I would be very happy, thanks
