OpenGL extensions? (e.g. GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc)

Post by Adam Warner »

Hi all,

First time user of VirtualBox and very impressed with the product. Host OS is
Debian testing/unstable with kernel 2.6.30-1-amd64. Guest OS is Microsoft
Windows XP.

Currently running VirtualBox 3.0.0_OSE r21065.


This is my OpenGL renderer (from the VirtualBox Log Viewer):

OpenGL driver version check (Current: 3.0.0.49315, Latest known: 3.0.0.49315):
Latest version of display drivers found
According the database, you are running the latest display drivers for your video card.

No hardware support
Your current video configuration DOES NOT support hardware accelerated OpenGL.

No stencil support
Your current video configuration DOES NOT support stencil buffering. Some applications may not run.

No Z-buffer support
Your current video configuration DOES NOT support Z-buffering. Some applications may not run.

No compiled vertex array support
This may cause performance loss in some applications.

Multitexture support
This feature accelerates complex rendering such as lightmaps or environment mapping.

Secondary color support
This feature provides an alternate method of coloring specular highlights on polygons.

No S3TC compression support
This may cause performance loss in some applications.

Texture edge clamp support
This feature improves texturing quality by adding clamping control to edge texel filtering.

Vertex program support
This feature enables a wide variety of effects via flexible vertex programming (equivalent to DX8 Vertex Shader.)

Fragment program support
This feature enables a wide variety of effects via per pixel programming (equivalent to DX9 Pixel Shader.)

Texture anisotropic filtering support
This feature improves the quality of texture mapping on oblique surfaces.

Occlusion test support
This feature provides hardware accelerated culling for objects.

Point sprite support
This feature improves performance in some particle systems.

OpenGL Shading Language support
This feature enables high level shading language for shaders.

No Frame buffer object support
This may break compatibility for applications using render to texture functions.

The core rendering tests appear to be accelerated (1000+ FPS at
1024x768x32bpp). They fail at OpenGL 2.1 (as expected) with:
ARB_pixel_buffer_object not supported.


My question is: Are older extensions such as GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc
presently unsupported or have I made an installation error/struck an unexpected bug?

Many thanks,
Adam
