<h1>Application Issues</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This page documents known issues with some OpenGL applications.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Topogun</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="http://www.topogun.com/">Topogun</a> for Linux (version 2, at least)
|
|
creates a GLX visual without requesting a depth buffer.
|
|
This causes bad rendering if the OpenGL driver happens to choose a visual
|
|
without a depth buffer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mesa 9.1.2 and later (will) support a DRI configuration option to work around
|
|
this issue.
|
|
Using the <a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriConf">driconf</a> tool,
|
|
set the "Create all visuals with a depth buffer" option before running Topogun.
|
|
Then, all GLX visuals will be created with a depth buffer.
|
|

<h2>Old OpenGL games</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some old OpenGL games (approx. ten years or older) may crash during
|
|
start-up because of an extension string buffer-overflow problem.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The problem is a modern OpenGL driver will return a very long string
|
|
for the glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) query and if the application
|
|
naively copies the string into a fixed-size buffer it can overflow the
|
|
buffer and crash the application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The work-around is to set the MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR environment variable
|
|
to the approximate release year of the game.
|
|
This will cause the glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) query to only report extensions
|
|
older than the given year.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, if the game was released in 2001, do
|
|
<pre>
|
|
export MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2001
|
|
</pre>
|
|
before running the game.
