[news] Mesa and 2 gtkglarea / Overlay ..

[Laurent Sauvebois <Laurent Sauvebois ns mecalog fr>]

Hi,

After some tests with Damien Sauveron, we found that there is a bug with
old versions of MesaGL: Mesa is not able to deal with two gtkglarea in
the same window. You are only allowed to draw in the last glarea, even
if you can clear and change the background color in the first one !

However, everything seems to be ok with new Mesa release 3.1.

Update your linux ... :-) !


I also remember everyone, that I made a gtkglarea version, based on the
1.2.1, that enables you to have an opengl overlay over your gtkglarea (
it has just been developped and tested on SGI ). Feel free to ask for a
package.
