openGL es 3.1 with hardware tesselation geometry and computer shader

according to vivantecorp

I know getting GPU acceleration is something they're working on and isn't fully implemented so the game may be trying to run in software mode which may have a weird OpenGL like you mentioned. I'm almost sure though that I've seen a video where super tux was running with GPU acceleration on the Lebrem 5.

but i imagine a lot of the features probably aren't in good shape if they are doing a driver 100% from scratch, at least for now

They are at least getting the hard work out of the way now and upstreaming any code changes they make. This means other people can make Linux phones in the future and I have a head start.

it has 64 gflops of compute performance... thats less than a hd 4550, from 12 years ago... they got their work cut out for em optimizing it

but im glad at least someone is trying to make an open source phone

i hope it at least has a microscopic TDP

oh hell yea its made in the USA

So looking at Super Tux Kart

in main we can see where the pop up for the driver is:
`if (UserConfigParams::m_old_driver_popup)
{
#ifdef USE_GLES2
irr::core::stringw version = "OpenGL ES 3.0";
#else
irr::core::stringw version = "OpenGL 3.3";
#endif
MessageDialog *dialog = new MessageDialog(_(
"Your graphics driver appears to be very old. Please "
"check if an update is available. SuperTuxKart "
"recommends a driver supporting %s or better. The game "
"will likely still run, but in a reduced-graphics mode.",
version), /*from queue*/ true);
GUIEngine::DialogQueue::get()->pushDialog(dialog);
}
#endif`

And these are the driver versions defined in their rules xml

`<card contains="Mesa" os="linux" version="<10.3" disable="BufferStorage"/>
<card contains="Mesa" os="linux" version="<10.3" disable="DriverRecentEnough"/>
<card contains="Mesa" os="linux" version="<11.2" disable="GeometryShader"/>
<card contains="Mesa" os="linux" version="<11.2" disable="TextureCompressionS3TC"/>`

so its either because their driver isn't Mesa, or it only implements openGL ES 2?

I think it's because it's opengl es2

That driverRecentEnough line was added in 2015 so the driver implementation was old 6 years ago

my laptop is opengl 3.3 and it throws no errors when i played it on manjaro

what gpu do you ahve on it?

HD 3000, intel

i just recently upgraded to it from a Pentium 4 w ATI Radeon 7000m laptop XD

Here is the full Graphics restrictions xml

so it just disable 10bitnormalization on linux?

since it would be sandy bridge

It appears if your gpu reads as being Sandybridge and the driver is less than 17.4 it would disable 10bitnormalization

Will Tyler join minds.com? It's a social media alternative. Tim Poole was talking about it the other night

What is Minds.com like?

im going to look into it

lik a facebook alternative basically?

It's kind of like a facebook/Instagram alternative based off of blockchain

Their code of how everything works is open source for transparency and accountability so normal people can see how their algorithms work and arent hidden like facebook or google

One of their values is that the content policy is based on the 1st amendment

just use MAGA-Chat

Can anyone recommend a good server rack? Need one that is small and silent.

Damn running Discord on a Ubuntu VM on a Server connected through RDP is kind laggy

shit

I do that all the time it ain’t laggy for me

Well I do text chat only not voice

I'll do you one better

Windows host -> Ubuntu VM -> RDP to windows box 60 miles away -> ubuntu vm -> discord
