You should know once you write a gl_format_and_type_to_mesa_format function. I don't think there will be many. I think OpenGL only specifies about 8 packed formats (plus swizzling) and we should already have most of them.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
