FWIW, that's how we handle support for cards that don't support texture compression as we store our textures pre- compressed. I agree though that it doesn't make sense to expose the extension if the hardware can't handle it. The app is much better suited to work around the lack of texture compression than DRI/Mesa. BTW, Kyro I/II is an interesting example as they expose GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc though only implement DXT1 in hardware. > isn't good...), and I don't think current games have much use for > reading back decompressed textures.
