An interesting option could be to provide a DirectX 10 implementation using TGSI text as the shader interface, which should be much easier than one would think at first.
DirectX 10 + TGSI text would provide a very thin binary compatible layer over Gallium, unlike all existing state trackers. It could even run Windows games if integrated with Wine and something producing TGSI from either HLSL text or D3D10 bytecode (e.g. whatever Wine uses to produce GLSL + the Mesa GLSL frontend + st_mesa_to_tgsi). In fact, given the Gallium architecture, it may even make sense to support a variant of DirectX 10 as the main Mesa/Gallium API on all platfoms, instead of OpenGL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
