<p>Thanks Marek, what would need to happen to get this enabled
again? Will simply reverting the commit that took it out work? If
so is there any chance of getting this put back officially or
would I have to manually compile the driver each release?<br>
</p>
<p>In particular I'm looking to get FSAA working in older games via
wine, mostly they don't support antialiasing which is a shame
because there's plenty of GPU power going to waste which could be
fixing the jaggles. On nvidia __GL_FSAA_MODE works as intended
provided you set wine's OffScreenRenderingMode to "backbuffer"
which slightly impacts performance but doesn't matter for older
games. I'd love to see the functionality return for AMD GPUs.<br>
</p>
<p>Kind Regards,</p>
<p>Tom<br>

) but there are cases where it is useful. In older games that
do not <br>
support native FSAA being able to force it in the driver is
the only way <br>
to enable it.<br>

<br>
A quick google search for AMD linux force msaa shows that I'm
not the <br>
only one who would like to see this feature return:<br>

I understand it does cause issues in some cases but there are
times when <br>
it is useful. Could it be reintroduced with a more relevant
name that <br>
implies it shouldn't be used? E.g. GALLIUM_LEGACY_MSAA or <br>
GALLIUM_FORCE_MSAA_EXPERIMENTAL. That way it would lower users
<br>
expectations while still making the option available to try.<br>
<br>
