Double buffer hardware +gives better performance than double buffer software so if you can +compile your WindML driver with this option, just do it.

Mesa sources must be in root directory (C:\) + +2. Add the following line to your torVars.bat: +set MESA_BASE=C:\Mesa + +OR copy the new torVars.bat in your bin path: +c:/Mesa/src/ugl/tornado/torVars.sample -> +/mnt/nt/Tornado/host/x86-win32/bin/torVars (for example) + +3.

Call uglMesaCreateContext() to create a UGL/Mesa rendering context, + given the display format. + +2. Call uglMesaMakeCurrent() to bind the UGL/Mesa buffers to an + UGL/Mesa Context and to make the context the current one. + +3. Make gl* calls to render your graphics. + +4. Use uglMesaSwapBuffers() when double buffering to swap front/back buffers. + +5. Before the UGL is destroyed, call MesaDestroyContext(). + +6. Before exiting, call if required uglEventQDestroy and then + uglDeinitialize(); + +Limitations +----------- + +I found the following limitations in my driver : + - Color Indexed management is only in 8 bits + - It's possible to mix UGL/OpenGL application with a software + double buffer + +Modifications +------------ + +New files in Mesa: +- Makefile.ugl +- rules.windmlmesa +- docs/README.UGL +- include/GL/uglmesa.h +- si-glu/Makefile.ugl +- src/Makefile.ugl +- src/ugl/torGLUTShapesInit.c +- src/ugl/torMesaUGLInit.c +- src/ugl/ugl_api.c +- src/ugl/ugl_dd.c +- src/ugl/ugl_glutshapes.c +- src/ugl/ugl_line.c +- src/ugl/ugl_span.c +- src/ugl/ugl_tri.c +- src/ugl/uglmesaP.h +- ugldemos/* + +Modified files in Tornado 2.0: +- c:\Tornado\host\x86-win32\bin\torVars.bat +rem Command line build environments +set WIND_HOST_TYPE=x86-win32 +set WIND_BASE=C:\Tornado +set MESA_BASE=C:\Mesa +set PATH=%WIND_BASE%\host\%WIND_HOST_TYPE%\bin;%PATH% +- c:\Tornado\target\config\comps\VxWorks\01uglmesa.cdf +- c:\Tornado\target\h\GL\* + +Todo +---- +- GCC 2.96, ASM compilation + +Thanks to: +---------- + +Precision Insight team for their great job around Mesa, XFree, and DRI. +Wind River Systems to take me as an intern. + + +Stephane Raimbault +<stephane.raimbault@windriver.com> +<stephane.raimbault@deesse.univ-lemans.fr> + +July 24, 2001 |
