DRI Wiki - ToDo

todo in DRI driver

This list is probably incomplete.

Mesa's fragment program code will need some work to support this. It doesn't currently track information about shadow samplers in the texture instructions. According to this mesa and i965 parts should be done.

ARB_texture_cube_map: tdfx (possibly on Voodoo 4/5)

ATI_envmap_bumpmap: radeon, r200, mga, i830, savage (?)

EXT_fog_coord: savage, via

EXT_paletted_texture / EXT_shared_texture_palette: r128, mga (probably G200 only), i810, i830, via

The G400 is a little hinkey about the way it handles texture palettes. The texture palette has no format. It's just a 256x16-bit array of values. To use a color-index texture, you blit it to a new location. This performs a color expansion on the texture. The "expanded" texture is then used for texture operations. This may or may not be that useful. The only savings would be texture upload bandwidth.

EXT_texture_compression_s3tc: radeon, r200, i830, tdfx (voodoo4/5), savage

EXT_texture_compression_dxt1: radeon, r200, i830, tdfx (voodoo4/5), savage

MESA_ycbcr_texture: tdfx, gamma (maybe), savage

NV_fog_distance: radeon, r200

The radeon register header gives no indication that this extension is supportable on that hardware, but Apple supports it.

This would also need support in Mesa.
The UniChrome Windows driver doesn't support this extension, but via_3d_reg.h (search for "_Sharp") has some register defines that appear to be for it. Some experimentation would be needed.

These are features the hardware provides that don't have a corresponding OpenGL extension.

Texture wrap extensions: rage128, i810

texture compression: mach64, rage128

Improve texture handling (radeon, r200)
Include Jakub Jelineks libGL.so optimizations. IanRomanick has been working on this.
Fix glDrawElements/glDrawRangeElements to not convert everything to GL_UNSIGNED_INT if the driver can handle GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT.
ATIRage128: revive hw-accelerated projective texturing (was already working for singletexturing, should be possible for multitexturing, too) - recent attempt

Unify drivers where it makes sense. radeon and r200 are begging to be unified. Radeon/r200/r300 work was started as part of new memory management-related rework in branch and then was merged into mesa master. i915 could be extended to cover i810 chips as well (and possibly even i740 if you're insane enough to try).
Port the nVidia driver from UtahGLX to DRI. WIP as nouveau project
Finish the S3Virge and Trident drivers from old CVS branches.
Convert remaining drivers to t_vertex.c freedesktop bug id for radeon, with patch
Get codegen working, tested, and enabled.
Implement OpenGL 2.0. Done for core mesa since Mesa 7.0 and as in (still unreleased) mesa-7.9 r300/r600, i965, nvfx/nv50 (Nouveau), and llvmpipe (new software rasterizer) advertise at least 2.0 and in some cases 2.1 support. Bugs included.
DirectRenderingToRedirectedWindows Nearly done as part of DRI2 rewrite. You need new X server and kernel drivers.
Openchrome-ttm mesa part , DRM part , DDX, Outdated instruction/announce
