Oh btw, did I previously tell you software OpenGL rendering is *slow*? Oh, yes, I did. For example, who wants to (try to) play WC3 in glorious MESA 3D software OpenGL mode? In which case, copy the MESA 3D dll in your installed WC3 directory, and launch the game in OpenGL mode. However, one might want to experiment for debugging/comparing renderings. I do not believe ATI or nVidia graphics users can benefit from using a MESA 3D dll. This tutorial was written with Polygon Enhancer 0.01 by oger-lord in mind. However, it is useful for other kinds of programs. Therefore this workaround is *not* suitable for any time-critical program. Although I remember hardware rendering support for 3DFX cards with some builds, but that was a looong time ago. So be sure to keep anything interesting on your HDDĬaveat: MESA 3D renders in *software* mode. It appears MSYS2 cleans up folders / reinjects files from time to time. Then search for the word "mesa" to find archives to download. Here is where you can find other pre-compiled MESA 3D dlls that have at least OpenGL2 support:įrom there choose a 32 bit (i686) or a 64 bit (x86_64) file. Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. But for unknown reasons, other, more recent versions, crash on my OS.Ī very close version of that dll can also be found in Stellarium 0.13.3. On my laptop (Pentium M, i915GM, XP SP3 32 bits), the MESA 3D dll 10.0.2-1 from the MSYS2 project works. Just copy that dll file into the appropriate folder (depending on your OS): Use a MESA 3D precompiled dll, since it is OpenGL compatible. It works better on my SiS display.ĭid you try the patch I posted yesterday.Intel i915GM graphics has poor OpenGL compatibility (full hardware support for 1.4 at best).
Gettext dependancy has been dropped in favour of QT4 and I would be interested in how it works now on ATI displays.
However the text display method has been changed in the latest build. Windows builds with ATI displays have been a problem for some time as the ATI OpenGl drivers do not like the later versions of QT.
Other than this I have no problems with a (Ubuntu) Linux build of 0.10.3. My video display does not have an OpenGl driver so runs very slow. I don't know much about Linux builds (ubuntu). Is there any chance it will run on Slackware 12.2 or do I have abandon stability and switch to something bleeding edge like Ubuntu? If I boot XP Stellarium 0.10.2 gives around 40 frames/sec.) Other times it would crash in QT versions 4.5.1 and 4.5.2. (This is a 2.4GHz Q6600 with Radeon XT2900 graphics. Stellarium would run sometimes, with frame rates below 1 per sec. OpenGL) with DRI disabled because those were the first failures I saw. And for the Linux users? What version of X11 do you need to have to stop 0.10.2 crashing in either DRI or QT4?
