ATI R600g Gains Mip-Map, Face Culling Support

One essential part of holding something back is, well, holding it back. I'm not going to give you a list of the stuff we *didn't* release

telling the name of an kind of technique is not the same as telling the secrets of the technique itself.

exampel you can say its a electric car and this does not explain how a el. car is working and how its build.

so yes i'm sorry about the dark secrets of sabotaging FOSS.

[bridgman]

Sure, but by your analogy we're not holding back "an electric car" we're holding back small, non-critical options in the hybrid drivetrain management software.

Git log hints ioquake might possibly work. Just echoing.

ok but being better and faster is critical for FOSS ;-)

on my system i can feel it...

1 day ago i install the fglrx again for testing after long time in 32bit linux
and if i scroll websites vertical the letters corrupted so you can't read.



i can feel it :-)

the radeon open-source driver works perfect ;-)


i think amd hurts them self by holding spec informations back for 100% speed.

Did I mention how much I hate having to delete and re-post every time I want to edit something ?

Maybe you should ask Micheal for mod privileges...

Q3 now works without glitches and even compiz now seems to work fine (didnt test all the plugins, especialy those with heavy shader usage)

[netkas]

Well, found a bug, hope Glisse reads this thread sometimes

[Qaridarium]

He probably worded the question precisely to ask both things.

Right i ask for both situations.

I suspect that he knows what he's saying a lot better than he makes it look.

sometimes i know this... yes..

Q has a very mischievous streak.

o well on what fineness did you detect this ?

and yes i have a mischievous streak.

Seems to be broken in classic Mesa as well. *Eek*

[bridgman]

Yeah, right now I think something like 96% of the 3D driver is common Mesa code and 4% is classic HW driver for whatever HW you are running.

After the move to Gallium3D I guess that will become more like 98% common and 2% hardware-specific
