Re: Modern Chromium

Can't say much on Chromium, but if I'm mistaken it supports up to OpenGL
1.5. I've run into some trouble running apps that use OpenGL 1.8/2.0
features myself.

As for SAGE, I was actually reading about it today, and they offer an OpenGL
wrapper that's supposed to be able to run OpenGL apps without any
modification. Additionally, they also have some information on how to modify
(ever so slightly) applications in order for them to work on SAGE.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Chromium-users] Modern Chromium

I have inherited a 4x4 tile wall that was built (hardware) and has  
linux loaded but no software.

Now I know DMX is part of Xorg now, but what is the state of  
chromium? The last update on SF is 2006. Does it even work on  
RHEL5 ?  This is my first tiled display, is there a successor to  
Chromium I should be looking at?

I see the Rocks Viz roll provides Chromium and SAGE. I like Chromium  
because of ability to run unmodified applications. Our apps would be  
matlab, visit, paraview (maybe), and another handful of engineering  
apps,  (Fluent, AbaqusCAE, Comsol).  Most of these were built without  
a tiled display in mind (paraview? is the only one aware?) thus I  
liked this feature of Chromium.

Does Chromium support the updates to OpenGL?  Latest data I found was  
OpenGL 1.5.  Is this a problem with newer apps?

Please direct me for what research I should do to understand the  
options.
is it true SAGE requires modified apps?

Oh and is the TG Threaded Mothership still available? I can't find it  
on their website. Is it even needed?
