Two More GL4 Extensions Enabled In Mesa 10.7 Git For RadeonSI

Written by Michael Larabel in Mesa on 12 July 2015 at 09:18 PM EDT. 8 Comments

David Airlie today landed support for the ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 and ARB_vertex_attrib_64bit OpenGL extensions within Mesa Git master.

The Red Hat developer finished up the ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 as needed for OpenGL 4.0 and ARB_vertex_attrib_64bit as needed for OpenGL 4.1. Previously only the Nouveau NVC0, LLVMpipe, and Softpipe drivers supported these two 64-bit floating point related extensions, but now RadeonSI is the first open-source AMD driver to do so.

More details via this Git commit.
