SGI said at one point that they were going to open-source the tests. I can look into the status of that. > It may be possible for XFree86 to sign an agreement with SGI to get > access to them.

No test suite will catch everything but the OpenGL conformance tests really are pretty thorough.

Yes, it would be great to have more tests contributed to Glean. -Brian _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
