Re: Re: VBO support in array SPU

Incidentally, Kevin Dale and I are having some issues with the way
renderspu_wgl.c is handling pixelformat calls as well -- in
particular, it's calling the wglSetPixelFormat call (instead of the
GDI SetPixelFormat call) even if the render spu is on the server.

My understanding was that we only called the wgl one directly if we
were loaded by the faker, to avoid an infinite loop.  Anyhow, I agree
that there's something fishy going on with wgl and pixelformats,
particularly when trying to run doom3.
