Now that r300g has progressed to the point where S3TC compression support is the last obstacle in making a lot of games work, I wonder if the work Corbin Simpson did at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~csimpso...tc-by-the-book may be useful to alleviate the problem of needing an external library (which makes less complete the out-of-the-box experience, which is one main selling point of OS drivers).

I'd have to get Ian to take another look. Last time, we did discover one big hole in that branch: D3D permits compressed texture updates with non-compressed data. That could probably be fixed in Gallium but not Mesa.Originally posted by kbios View PostComment

Thanks for your answer. If/when it works, would it make libtxc-dxtn completely unnecessary? It is unmantained and IIRC doesn't work with multiple textures.Originally posted by MostAwesomeDude View PostComment

It would make it less necessary, certainly. It is maintained, but S3TC, by specification, doesn't necessarily work with multitexturing, and it's broken on many chipsets.Originally posted by kbios View PostComment

Sorry, I was not clear (I'm under exams, you know, and a bit tiredOriginally posted by MostAwesomeDude View Post
). With "it is unmantained" I meant libtxc-dxtn, because at http://homepage.hispeed.ch/rscheideg...3tc_index.html
it is written that "Note: this page is no longer updated and the code no longer maintained."Comment
