No, the documentation maintainer recently moved. :slight_smile:
We’ll do a doc update when he gets everything put back together.

See ya,

By the way, if you’re interesting in finding out more about the API additions,
you can see an example of using FSAA in testgl.c in the SDL source archive,
and you can find out about the share object loading functions in SDL_loadso.h

See ya,

Thank you, yes I am interested in the API changes. I am in the middle of
writing an article on using OpenGL with SDL and I had just finished
writing the part about OpenGL attributes, now it gets a rewrite :slight_smile:

additions,
you can see an example of using FSAA in testgl.c in the SDL source
archive,
and you can find out about the share object loading functions in
SDL_loadso.h

the example not activating FSAA :-/

im under windows whit ATI 9500 and i launch the test with 2 or 4 sample fsaa
(-fsaa -fsaa -fsaa -fsaa) but in the rendering not have fsaa

the log report:
requested GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES 4 got 1 …

whi this ???

I don’t know. It’s extremely driver and gl setting dependent.
Try playing with the other values, depth buffer, color depth, etc.
