Sure they are. > The new GPUs seem to be simpler. Many fixed functions have been > removed. What changes are you planning to do to Mesa? Mesa follows the OpenGL spec. A future version of OpenGL will probably remove the fixed function parts. If that's the direction OpenGL goes, Mesa will too. > BTW, has Mesa a software renderer anymore? Yes, of course.

Mesa implements a number of OpenGL features and extensions that modern GPUs support, like the shading language. You'll have to rephrase your question in terms of OpenGL features. -Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
