To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

woes with vbos

Hi.

I've just saw Pioneer on the videos and it amazes me! But soon after, I've found that it's quite dependent on Vertex Buffer Object feature.

Which my card seems to lack... Dammit, it's technology from 2003 and my card doesn't support it. 😥 It's Intel GMA 4500MHD and it troubled me few times already, but now I hate it officially 😀

Does some other card manufacturers but ATI and nvidia supports it anyway?

And are there _any_ chances for software vertex processing?

Thanks for any info!

Rob

The specs say it supports OpenGL 2.1 which should be enough. Are your drivers up to date?

Well, I have newest version in my distro (debian squeeze), but linux intel drivers are still in development...

It's good to know that the card itself supports it, though. There is still hope 😀
