The short description is "Implementation of the ARB_tessellation_shader extension in Mesa This includes * Piglit tests * Mesa front-end implementation * GLSL compiler support for two new shader targets * driver back-end implementation" The backend implementation is for IvyBridge. I'm not sure if I'm allowed or should post more of the proposal. But, I'm not sure what point you're making? _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
