That is not and never has been the metric for landing code in core Mesa. >> I'll ask the question I always ask in these situations: Has anyone >> bothered talking to the developer? > > The game is years old they are not going to rewrite it now just because > it doesn't run on Mesa drivers.

Delete checks for silly extensions and replace some instances of EXT with ARB is rewrite? Give me a break. They may not be will to do it, but nobody will ever know if nobody asks. >>> On September 7, 2018 23:32:16 Timothy Arceri <tarc...@itsqueeze.com> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> EXT_direct_state_access is a huge extension so patch 1 adds a list of >>>> the functions to displatch sanity that can be used as a TODO list. >>>> >>>> Wolfenstein doesn't use the matrix stuff but since Chris implemented >>>> it and we are eventually going to add this extension it seemed worth >>>> sending out with this series. >>>> >>>> This series also provides enough of EXT_direct_state_access for Doom >>>> to run with the extension enabled.
