Re: A question regarding OpenGL. . .
OpenGL generally isn't user-configurable, except via the preferences or options dialogs of programs that use it. You could try messing around with it via the OpenGL Driver Monitor or OpenGL Profiler (in Developer/Applications/Graphics), but there's not much point in doing that for most people. Under OS X, OpenGL hardware acceleration is fully supported on any machine with a Rage 128 or better (that's Pismo or later for laptops, and BlueWhite G3 or later for desktops). If you have an AGP card with 16MB or more VRAM, parts of the GUI will be drawn using OpenGL. All the iTunes Use OpenGL button does is use OpenGL to speed up some of the 2D drawing operations. If you've got 16MB or more VRAM, the difference should be noticeable. Cheers, Ben On 29 Jan 2005, at 20:29, Zoltan Batiz wrote: Is OpenGL user configurable? Or is this one of those background things?

A question regarding OpenGL. . .
Hello all, Is OpenGL user configurable? Or is this one of those background things? And is there a certain (gulp) video ram requirement just to make it work? Or is it always working? I was enjoying the Visualizer in iTunes today and noticed that under the options button, I had clicked Use OpenGL. . . which spawned this thread. Have a great day everyone!

Zoltan THE BLUETOOTH (and WiFi) MASTER I'm not an OpenGL expert, but from what I've learned, it's first of all a low level, background thing. I would imagine that there isn't much of a video RAM requirement since you can have OpenGL working in software only, no video card. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fascist adj.: [common] Said of a computer system with excessive or annoying security barriers, usage limits, or access policies.
