Hello,
Has anyone tried OpenGL software rendering with Nate Robins tutorial
programs located here: http://www.xmission.com/~nate/tutors/tutors.zip
I get a black background and the menus seem to be working, but that's
it. Sometimes the programs produce areas of randomly colored pixels.
However, if I then load the kernel module for my graphics card (Voodoo 5
5500) and restart X so I get hardware acceleration then the programs
produce appropriate output. Currently, I'm learning GL programming
using software rendering because the dri voodoo driver has a problem
with colormaps. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else experiences
similar problems with software rendering.
My system is using the following:
AMD Athlon classic 850Mhz
EPOX EP-7KXA motherboard
Voodoo 5 5500 vid card
FreeBSD 4.7 with my own configuration
XFree86 4.3.0 packages from packages-4-stable
