Summary: change default anti-aliasing settings for linux

Created: 2017–01–06 11:37

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 2.3

Released_In: 2.4

Description:

right now, the default environment variable for the linux nvidia driver anti-aliasing is set to 7. You can query all the possible settings on your system with the following command:

> nvidia-settings --query=fsaa --verbose

  Attribute 'FSAA' (metecs-frankie2:0.0): 14.
    Valid values for 'FSAA' are: 0, 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14.
    'FSAA' can use the following target types: X Screen.

    Note to assign 'FSAA' on the commandline, you may also need to assign
    'FSAAAppControlled' and 'FSAAAppEnhanced' to 0.

    Valid 'FSAA' Values
      value - description
        0   -   Off
        1   -   2x (2xMS)
        5   -   4x (4xMS)
        7   -   8x (4xMS, 4xCS)
        8   -   16x (4xMS, 12xCS)
        9   -   8x (4xSS, 2xMS)
       10   -   8x (8xMS)
       11   -   16x (4xSS, 4xMS)
       12   -   16x (8xMS, 8xCS)
       14   -   32x (8xMS, 24xCS)

Now, keep in mind this will vary from different NVIDIA driver versions and generations of video card.

This request is to change the "__GL_FSAA_MODE" variable (which the user normally overrides in their $USERDATA/user_env.csh file), to default to something higher. This will impact framerates a bit.
