Unbiased render & GPU

it's time:

first was LuxRender

- 0.8 support a GPU (under Linux - AMD Radeon)

- ~2.5 times for AMD Athlon X4 (2.7GHz) vs NVidia GeForce GT460


Indigo since 3.0 also support GPU

- CPU: 103025.85289 samples / second (9.70630 micro-seconds / sample)

- CPU+GPU: 225543.72788 samples / second (4.43373 micro-seconds / sample)

also a bit more than 2 times speedup for such hardware


only Maxwell render not support GPU (yet, I guess)

Mesa 7.3 RC1 @ N800


2.6fps in gears in full-screen.
w/o DSP optimization, but at least - it works on real device.

Nokia N8x0 and h/w OpenGL ES

OpenGL EX 1.x accelerator is not connected to screen due to very high screen resolution of screen (i.e. 800x480x16bit) - 768kB only for sigle framebuffer.
upcomming Maemo 5.0/new TI hardware will have a bigger memory for GL accelerator and will have native OGL ES support from scratch.

NEdit - a classical text editor for X11 is working as well as Lesstif - a free implementation of Motif.

and for Mesa - glut, glsl is working as well

mesa deps


- libdrm-dev (bin+dev)
- x11proto-gl-dev (dev)
- x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev (dev)
- libxxf86vm-dev (bin+dev)
- lesstif2-dev(bin+dev)
in mesa sources:
debian/rules:67 - change cp -t to cp --target-directory due to limitation of busybox cp (or install complete cp command)

maemo/x86 is OK for now, but maemo/armel had internal compiler error in SGI/GLU (NURBS) tessellation code.
I just comment this code - probably, the good solution is to use Mesa/GLU (or not use NURBS)

upd: glxgears on maemo/armel demo is working!
