Enable 256 program parameters (1.32 KB, patch)

Description Ian Romanick 2008-07-09 13:45:46 UTC
i965 should support more program parameters (as reported by GL_MAX_PROGRAM_PARAMETERS_ARB and friends).  The ARB_vertex_program spec only requires 96, and we currently support 128.  However, the hardware is capable of supporting more, and some applications require more.  For example, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars appears to require 243.

I've attached the obvious patch to increase support to 256.  Due to lack of other tests and other issues getting ET:QW running on i965, I am unable to verify it.

where is the patch, Ian?

Enable 256 program parameters

I selected for this patch to be uploaded when I submitted the bug.  I'm not sure what happened.  Weird.

We can do a maximum of 32 * 512 bits = 16k of constant data at once on G965-GM45, and 256 parameters would be 256 * 4 * 32bits = 32k.  Since programs seem to expect this much from us, we should figure out how to support it, but it looks like we'll have to bind the constants as a buffer and sample it.

Mass version move, cvs -> git
Comment 5 Eric Anholt 2009-10-09 12:56:39 UTC
Current state is:
GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB:
    GL_MAX_PROGRAM_PARAMETERS_ARB = 1024
    GL_MAX_PROGRAM_NATIVE_PARAMETERS_ARB = 1024
