- Is it really sure that the SDL - ixemul applications colors problems on some
RGBA screns came from a P96 voodoo driver with problems ???? Sure No doubt that
this problem not came from P96 rtg.library ????

sorry to ask you because you seemed more sure than me ;-)


- Do you know other problems that could came from the voodoo3 drivers ????


Too bad that some colors problems with some P96 resolutions apparently came from
the voodoo3 P96 drivers, who came from elbox. Will be verry uefull to know the
elbox point of view about this colors on some screenmodes problem ;-)





For informations to @all, the SDL test on utilitybase based on the SDL demo
posted on the thread:

http://utilitybase.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=21&topic=1720

and your results are:

firenew2 test. 68060@75MHz, AmigaOS 3.9 & P96 2.x, Mediator with Voodoo4,
800x600...

32bit BGRA 23 fps
32bit ARGB 22 fps, colors messed up
24bit BGR 10 fps
16bit PC 26 fps
16bit BE 23 fps, colors messed up
15bit PC 24 fps
15bit BE 23 fps, colors messed up
8bit chunky 23 fps, colors messed up

PC=little endian, BE=big endian
Big endian modes are messed up because of a bug in the Mediator Voodoo drivers.
No crashes but I didn't run MuForce as it may slow the results.
