The primary motivation for this rewrite was to have a maintainable driver going forward, as nvfx was quite horrible in a lot of ways. The driver is heavily based on the design of the nv50/nvc0 3d drivers we already have, and uses the same common buffer/fence code. It also passes a HEAP more piglit tests than nvfx did, supports a couple more features, and a few more to come still probably. The CPU footprint of this driver is far far less than nvfx, and translates into far greater framerates in a lot of applications (unless you're using a CPU that's way way newer than the GPUs of these generations....) Basically, we once again have a maintained driver for these chipsets \o/ Feel free to report bugs now!
File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 23 April 2011 Quick Start ----- ----- Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are no longer shipped or supported. Run scons osmesa mesagdi to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or scons libgl-gdi to build gallium based GDI driver. This will work both with MSVS or Mingw. Windows Drivers ------- ------- At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work. Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown. General ------- After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32. If you don't like putting things in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the executable(s). Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory. The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the stdcall calling convention. Static LIB files are not built. The LIB files that are built with are the linker import files associated with the DLL files. The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs. This was done mainly to get the better tessellator code. If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
