- 3. Known bugs and limitations
-
- 1. Tested only with 2 OpenGL 3d productivity applications that will
- be shipping soon. Ran some standard OpenGL samples too.
-
- 2. Known to work on following Virge family accelerators
- - Virge/GX2
- - Virge/MX(Mobile)
- - Virge/DX/GX
- Did not yet test on Virge and Virge/VX. Should work though.
-
- 3. No support 8-bpp mode.
-
- 4. 24-bpp support is in there but hangs the system.
- 16-bpp is the safest mode right now.
-
- 5. Does not work with glQuake due to following reasons:
- - No hardware support for some alpha blending modes GLQuake
- requires.
- - Texture swapping in the s3mesa driver is buggy. Working on it
- - Not all GL calls are implemented in the driver layer.
- Working on it.

-
- 4. Make information
-
- 1. Go to the Mesa src directory: cd src
- 2. Use VC++ 5.0 nmake: nmake /f s3mesa.mak
