Double sided stencil means that you can select different stencil buffer operations depending on whether a rendered polygon is front-facing or back-facing. This can be used to increase speed of stencil shadow volumes, which are used for shadows in games like Doom 3. > > >> You can get some extra boost by sticking: >> Option "ColorTiling" "true" >> into xorg.conf >> >> > Sounds good that the driver can be made faster, but why would I have to > turn it on in a configuration file? Some options cause problems for some users. A typical example are AGP fast writes: While they can increase speed they will lead to crashes with some graphics chip revision / mainboard chipset / BIOS combinations. Tiled rendering was added to the driver later and is not yet as well-tested as the rest. Philipp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
