Not that anything of value would be lost if it doesn't, though.

This is unexpected, but a great idea and the coolest thing I've seen today.

Just to offer yet another fact check, they were founded in Mesquite but are now headquatrered in Richardson, another Dallas suburb. :p

It may very well be as taxing - performance isn't what I was referring to. The recency of the features used by an application is one factor affecting its compatibility with different drivers, but by...

There are a handful of those, but my post that you quoted was referring to one specific game - Left 4 Dead 2 - which is D3D-only on Windows.

Can't tell if trolling or serious, but your post looks serious, so I will reply.

Either way, almost everything in your post is wrong. DN3D used the Build engine, an entirely different game engine...

Sorry, but...no.

First of all, it's safe to assume that the Source engine gets a lot more active development than the engine used in Trine 2, whose name I forget, and Source has definitely been...

Not true, because the Windows version uses Direct3D and the Linux version uses OpenGL.

The first to be released was TF2, which was followed (in some order) by Half-Life 1, Counter-Strike, CS:S, DoD:S, and HL2 Deathmatch.

It's worth mentioning that we already have eduke32 for playing Duke Nukem 3D on Linux, both with the original appearance and with enhanced graphics.

I'm not sure what the point would be. Valve already ported all of the original L4D's maps to L4D2, so the first game is quite obsolete now. Valve knows this, players know this.

I find it more...

I was just thinking the other day that Valve seems to be playing a game to see how many GoldSrc and Source games they can release for Linux before L4D2... :rolleyes:

Really, though, it will be...

Money isn't the problem. The reason I had to stop my geometry shader work is that I stopped having much free time for a while. I actually had more free time during the last month or so, but with...

Although there are no piglit tests for it yet, my geometry shader code on GitHub has had a decent amount of stress-testing; I'm not too concerned about an abundance of bugs in the existing code. ...

Depends on your hardware. From my experience with my NVA5 (NV50/NVA3 generation), it works very well but has slower 3D performance and eats more power than the proprietary driver.

Hooray for fan management! I don't even know what kind of fan I have, but any tangible advances in Nouveau's power/thermal management actually landing in the kernel is very welcome. :cool:

There isn't any reverse engineering effort that I know of. The reason is probably less technical and more that no one's bothered to do it.

You can see this from my actual messages in the IRC log posted, but when the article says that patches are to be published "soon", it actually means whenever I finish writing Piglit tests for all of...

Yes, that's what it's for.



The problem is that compatibility contexts do get used (from an application developer standpoint, there's not much reason to use the core context with less...

So in other words, Intel will not add support for GL_ARB_compatibility to Mesa. Nothing says someone else can't implement it. :)
