I've updated my Allegro and AllegroGL (Win32 only, tomorrow I'll update my Kubuntu). They works nice, specially AllegroGL because the prior version (CVS) didn't work with my Intel GFX, the new version works without big problems, but I find two bugs:

Allegro: The square root doesn't works well. In the math test I tried "49 [sqrt]" and it doesn't return exactly 7 (7 * 7 = 49, so sqrt (49) = 7). I don't remember what it returned before the update.
AllegroGL: fonttest.c doesn't work. No error message, no window, no output, no nothing, just do nothing...

My System is Pentium 4, Windows XP SP2, MinGW32 5.0, MSys 1.0, Graphics Intel i810, Allegro 4.2.1, AllegroGL 0.4.0 RC7

Do the other AllegroGL examples work?

If you have the time, you could compile in debug mode (make DEBUGMODE=2 LOGLEVEL=2; make install DEBUGMODE=2 LOGLEVEL=2), and AllegroGL will write down everything it does in the file allegro.log. But maybe it's related to tobing's problem in the other thread, since you both have an Intel card.

It has to crash because your GFX cars doesn't support either ARB_npot or ARB_texture_rectangle OGL extensions. The fix you are probably referring to was for your other card, X850Pro. I proposed the patch on the ML, Bob was against it, so it was left unapplied. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=37179899
It's not a big deal though, dumbtest should be rewritten properly to handle such situations.

I remember it crashing when my desktop color depth was 16-bit depth. set_gfx_mode failed or something... Can you try it in 32-bit?

What would be a fix for dumbtest? Recreate the bitmap as 64x64 if NULL is returned?

There is no point creating a 64x64 bitmap. dumbtest is used to test the capabilities of gfx card and the AGL ability to use this capabilities. The returned bitmap pointer should be tested all over the code and display "unsupported" where the image should be.

edit:
a32.tga is damaged in RC7?

Can't you open it in a image viewer/editor and see if it's corrupted or not?

It's supposed to contain only the letter A

set_color_depth(32); in fonttest.c is wrong. set_gfx_mode will fail if desktop color depth is other than 32, because can't change that in windowed mode.
Should be:
allegro_gl_set(AGL_COLOR_DEPTH, 32);
allegro_gl_set(AGL_SUGGEST, AGL_COLOR_DEPTH);
... which should be fine but I don't feel like restarting my X server now to test it.

And fonttest doesn't display correctly in 16-bit mode. 32-bit ALPHA, LUMINANCE and INTENSITY are not displayed.

Just to make sure, are you using Allegro 4.2.1?

Yes. The anti aliased fonts require Allegro 4.2.1. In general, I see AllegroGL 0.4.0 depending on Allegro 4.2.1 - that's also why I wanted to wait with the release after 4.2.1 comes out.

I disagree: AGL should support all video bitmap sizes that we can.

I think this is a bug I accidentally added with revision 1016. Before that, AGL did support NPOT video bitmaps on GPUs that don't support NPOTs.

I think, this was solved by scaling the image to the next power of two, and using a PO T texture.

Of course, I doubt that usually can be a good idea.. what might work though is, combine multiple POT textures into a single video bitmap, I think AllegroGL already can do that. Not that I know the code well enough to implement/fix it.

We do this for textures, not for bitmaps.
