texture_from_pixmap confusion

[curaga]

Just updated to Mesa 7.4.4, Linux 2.6.30.1, Xorg 1.6.1.901, Radeon 6.12.2.

Xorg.0.log now states(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_texture_from_pixmap with driver support

Yetbash-3.2$ texture_from_pixmap
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap not supported.

Andbash-3.2$ glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmapTwice, not thrice. Or, listed in both server and client, but not in the "GLX extensions" part.

So, is it supported now or is it not? Contradicting messages ;)

Hmm, are GLX_texture_from_pixmap and GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap supposed to be the same thing then? :o (and yeah, the latter two at least seem a bit contradicting)

[curaga]

Wow, I didn't see that the first message was without _EXT_. Could be a typo there? If it is without _EXT_, why is it not listed in glxinfo?

The mystery gets deeper...

The mystery gets deeper...Out of curiosity, what is that texture_from_pixmap program actually and where's the sources? :)

[curaga]

It's one of the mesa demos, in the same directory as glxinfo and glxgears (progs/xdemos).

Yes, I read through the program's sources, the detection looks pretty much trivial so I'm a bit puzzled as to why it doesn't succeed.

IIRC, without dri2, texture_from_pixmap only works for indirect contexts.
