Re: Intel GMA 950 and GLSL



GMA 950 supports GLSL on Mac OS X.  On Windows, Intel hasn't
exposed/implemented it in their drivers.

The hardware limits are about the same as the Radeon 9600, but the #
of available temporary registers is much lower, which is the most
likely cause for programs to fall back to software / fail to work.

Do you have specific examples of shaders with problems?
