Spring RTS / Complete Annihilation

[pheldens]

Hi I start this thread to improve the workings of this GPL mod and GPL engine on the open radeon driver.

On r300 it worked ok, be it slow.
Now I upgraded to an r600 powered chip (RV730), And it has texture issues, white terrain, half the units are white. The rest works more or less flawless, and the performance is very good.
It's most likely a s3tc issue.

So if anyone has tips, please respond.

Spring with Balanced Annihilation mod will not even start here (rs780, mesa from git) unless I disable shadows and advanced unit shading in ~/.springrc (bug 25024).
But apart from that it works with some graphical glitches (eg. ground texture is white as you mentioned).

For S3TC, it sould be OK with 2.6.33-rc1, Ok on 2.6.32 with the patch mentioned here :

With this Spring is OK on my R500

R100-R500 according to the commit

r6/700 is not fixed no with latest git of kernel drm and ddx/mesa/libdrm, it lacks the whole s3tc part in the driver, no hooks to libdxtn either.

Another small issue with the present driver is it only supports 256MB videoram. So I'm wasting 750 of my 1G at the moment ;p
