Re: Haedware capability

Hi Sudeep,
   Thanks for hint,
yes, of-cource running few OpenGL application will inform wether its going 
through hardware or software but not eventually the card level deails,but  
glxinfo gives sufficient information. 


[srini@RHEL2 ~]$ glxinfo |grep string
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on i965 (chipset: Q45_G)
OpenGL version string: 1.5 Mesa 7.8.2

I got sufficient information from here. thank you once again.

Regards,
Srini.

Hi Srini,

I am not an expert in this field, but I have done some study on this.According 
to my
understanding, you can run some OpenGL application on top of Mesa-3D library 
and verify whether you use DRI(direct rendering infrastructure) path. For that 
you may
need to configure the Mesa-3D library to use DRI. Then run some tools like 
'glxinfo'
and it would tell you whether you used DRI path. Also, you can insert some 
'printk'
inside your graphics driver and verify. Please share your thoughts about this 
approach.
I am also eager to know about this.

Regards,
Sudeep
