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.
As far as I can tell we support post ps blending in combination with
MRTs fine. Tabula Rasa needs this cap in order to enable some of the
higher graphics settings.
Currently we only check if ARB_HALF_FLOAT_PIXEL is supported. This is
not enough, we need ARB_TEXTURE_FLOAT as well. This fixes some errors
when running the d3d9 visual test with Mesa swrast.
Currently depth formats are handled separately from the other formats,
but depth formats can support things like filtering as well, so we
should check those caps as well.
This makes it easier to make this a per texture / per adapter property.
Somewhen we should rename the remaining lookup type in the general
lookup table to wraplookup.
OpenGL always offers filtering on all formats, and if the hardware
doesn't support it the driver falls back to software. Direct3D on the
other hand silently disables filtering, so that's what we should do too.
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.
The whole control structures in directx.c get terribly confusing with
the various codepaths for texturing and different shader
implementations. It is also hard to reflect the shader model
decisions this way too. This patch moves the shader specific parts of
the caps code into the shader backend where we can set our caps
dependent of the shader model decisions and without complex caps flag
checks.
