Tom,

thank you for this Information,

but my X-Server freezes when I launch *any* Performer app with
PF_ENABLE_MULTISAMPLE_VISUAL set. Are there any other prerequisites or
known incompatibilties/limitations when using this option ? I would
really love to see LOD fading on my machine.

I am using the Performer 2.5.0 demo, Nvidia driver 2313, XFree86 4.0.3,
Mesa 4.0, a GeForce3 on a Dell Dual P4/XEON System with a Geforce3
running linux kernel 2.4.16./glibc 2.2.2. (Server & client glx version
string 1.2, OpenGL version string 1.3.0, all new glx extensions are
there) And everything else (all demos and my apps) runs fine so far,
except minor linking problems with libpfx stuff.

Any suggestion how I can find out what's wrong ?

Thanks

Pavel

with pf2.5, setenv PF_ENABLE_MULTISAMPLE_VISUAL 1
and perfly will pick up a multisample visual. also, if in your app, you
ask for multisample as a config attribute of your pipewindow (man
pfPWinFBConfigAttrs()), you'll get a multisample visual.

we don't grab one by default like we do on IRIX because there is a
rather
significant performance difference between using a multisample v.s.
non-multisample visual on GeForce3.
