[Mesa3d-users] NVidia Drivers, XF86-40,

[Robert M. W. Jr. <rm...@wo...>]

Hello,

I have just recently installed the latest NVida drivers for XFree86-4.0 (as
well as WinNT4).
I've noticed a small problem which may or may not be 'operator error'.
When rendering a point with smoothing (anti-aliasing) enabled, and the new
NVidia libraries
and drivers enabled, the only effect seen is a larger (square) point. (See
the following sample code.)

      glEnable(GL_POINT_SMOOTH);
      glHint(GL_POINT_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_NICEST);
      glPointSize(11.125);
      glBegin(GL_POINTS);
      glVertex3f(x, y, 0.0);
      glEnd();
      glDisable(GL_POINT_SMOOTH);

If I disable the new NVidia stuff by changing symbolic links to point at
the Mesa3D libs, the
smooth point rendering works as expected (a round point).  I'm asking for a
display config
with RGBA (RGB), double bufferring, depth bufferring, and stencil
bufferring (for other things).

Am I missing the boat on this?  What else would I need in my display config?

By the way, I notice this problem under NT4.0 as well, but if I replace the
Opengl32.dll with
the M$ version, all is well.

Thanx,

Robert M. Wheat, Jr.
