Re: OpenGL 1.3?



Apple already supports OpenGL 1.3 on the hardware which can support it. I suspect your graphics card may not be capable of one of the core parts of OpenGL 1.3.

Hi -

Doing a "glxinfo " in an xterm on my Mac gives me:

    OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.3 ATI-1.4.18)

I believe that this means OSX 10.4.7 provides Open GL 1.2, and this is borne out by my experience (can't get access to some OpenGL 1.3 functionality that I'd like to use).

Anyone have an idea when Apple might support OpenGL 1.3?

Also (and I apologize for having asked this earlier) - anyone know why the extensions I can see when running an application locally (under X 11 on OS X), are different than if I'm running the application remotely (via ssh -Y)? I get all the available Open GL extensions when I run the applications locally, but only a subset when run across a network connection...just complicates application writing...

Thanks!
