Window Antialiasing on Linux
« on: July 20, 2014, 12:52:48 pm »
Hi there,

I have been looking around and i found a few clues that window anti-aliasing on Linux is broken. All of the resources are fairly old though, from 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Will this be on the drawing board anytime soon? Or is it already fixed?

I noticed some fix mentioned here https://github.com/SFML/SFML/issues/35, but i fail to comprehend the solution.

Regards, ath88

Edit: I have been trying an FXAA shader, but i can't make it work with primitive shapes (which is what i am using, no textures).

If I had to guess, I would say read this.

Thanks, but to no avail. Setting the depthBit to 32 changes nothing. Still no antialiasing, even though antialiasingLevel is set to 8.

Show us the full output of glxinfo. Preferably in code tags.

Alright. I am not sure how to interpret this info. Hope this is correct.

Your graphics driver supports no visual with antialiasing (see the last two columns, there are only zeroes), which is weird since it supports the GLX_ARB_multisample extension.

My laptop has a Nvidia Optimus graphicscard (one small internal, and another bigger one), and i can switch to use the bigger card with the Bumblebee server. I realised i should be running glxinfo with the bigger card. Here is the, hopefully better, information;

So, any ideas as to why my anti aliasing does not work? The same code, when run on Windows, works fine.

Are you sure that your application runs on the "bigger" graphics card?
