Hi, I'd like to write some 3D programs with OpenGL 3.3 and OpenGL 4.0/4.1 API on FreeBSD, but I wonder which GPUs are supported at all, and which are well supported with stable drivers (on FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64).
I know that MesaGL is still at OpenGL 2.1 level, so a proprietary closed binary blob driver + libs are needed to get 3.3 and 4.0/4.1 APIs, right? Do they have to be installed manually, or are there ports that are up to date and regularly updated? How painful is the experience? Which (GPU, driver) pair works best? I have no problems getting a new GPU, as long as it is definitely well supported on i386 and on amd64. Oh, while we're at it, I'm also interested in stuff like OpenCL and CUDA, so I guess I'll probably need nVidia hardware more than AMD/ATI atm... TIA, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
