All of the 3D rendering specs allow a large amount of variation in rasterization rules and precision rules. Have you ever looked at OpenGL's line drawing rules? Line locations can vary by +/- a pixel in any direction. That's not to say this isn't interesting, but it's probably only interesting for comparing the results of different drivers for the same hardware (e.g., r600g with and without some change). > Step two: as above, but save the command stream each frame so that you > can bisect into it to find the actual draw call which caused the > failure. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1tV+YACgkQX1gOwKyEAw/CQACfRMArQMiZnSEov4c5woQoH3/K qT8AoJwWCUoQrmQ+gCimQgVDXDZLjrQb =zTvF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
