For now the atifs selection sticks to the old rules, thus it is bound to
the available and selected shader capabilities. We may want to change that
in the future.
The idea of this patchset is to split the monolithic state set into 3
parts, vertex processing, fragment processing and other states(depth,
stencil, scissor, ...). The states will be provided in templates which
can be (mostly) independently combined, and are merged into a single
state table at device creation time. This way we retain the advantages
of the single state table and having the advantage of separated
pipeline implementations which can be combined without any manually
written glue code.
The atifs fragment processing implementation doesn't borrow a pixel shader
implementation from anywhere. It was a hack during development, but never needed.
The previous logic assumed that if NVTS or ATIFS are available they
will be used. This happens to be true for NVTS, but ATIFS is only used
if neither ARBFP nor GLSL are supported. This breaks fixed function
fragment processing on ATI r300 and newer cards
This adds code for handling fixed function fragment processing with the
GL_ATI_fragment_shader extension. This is a sort-of programmable
interface for fragment processing at the level of shader model 1.4 in
d3d. This code is of use on r200, r250 and r280 cards(radeon 8500 to
9200) which do not support GL_ARB_fragment_program, but support pixel
shader 1.4 on Windows. This code is somewhat a counterpart to the
existing fragment processing code using GL_NV_register_combiners and
GL_NV_texture_shader.
