[Intel-gfx] Trying to update Intel driver to get pbuffer support with GM45 on Fedora 11 x86_64

[Avedissian, Vahe Y (AS)]

Hi Ian,

This is for existing code that needs to do some off screen rendering. In
fact my next question was
Going to be about the preferred method to use and it looks like you
already answered it: we need to
Convert to frame buffer objects.

Thanks,

Vahe

Our current plan is to finish implementation of the interface, but *not*
expose any fbconfigs that support creation of pbuffers.  The pbuffer API
is dead.  Framebuffer objects should be used instead.  Are you wanting
pbuffers for new code or for an existing application?
