Well, with an attitude like that you're CERTAINLY not getting anymore help from me.

Intel video drivers are notoriously terrible. I'm going to be 99% certain the swap extensions do not work on the intel chips, which is how the SDL swap interval is exposed. Sorry.

Don't wear your heart on your sleeve ;) Nobody's making fun, but if anyone's going to help you need to pay attention and make an attempt to answer what we're asking. Secondly, don't "No shit" people who are trying to help you, kid. Chill out and show some courtesy or you'll get no help at ...

You're terrible at answering questions :]

nVidia, ati, intel?

windows? Linux?

Heh, you're right. The issue IS NOT glut. You've missed the point of my post then :P The issue is not glut because glut is horrendously outdated and has never handled vsync correctly to begin with. Like I said, if you're writing an engine around these frameworks, be it glut, SDL, or SFML you just MU...

Have you cut SDL out of the loop? Have you tried any of the things I said to try?

Well thats good though because effective code profiling is going to save you TONS of time and if you can make sense of it will bring you to what REALLY makes for efficient code instead of making presumptions about what makes efficient code. The results are commonly very surprising ;) This is part of...

On a DX graphics device, which is what an XNA device fundamentally is, spending excessive amounts of time in Present is not indicative of being inefficient graphically. Precisely the opposite normally. Now, I do stress "normally". :) Without anymore code or a more worthwhile profile it'd b...

Alright, so this is a loaded question and a tough one to answer because there's so many different ways this can go. I've had several years experience as a graphics programmer in the industry so hopefully I can shed a little light on the matter. One of the primary complaints coming from companies emp...

This whole first paragraph is you just putting words in my mouth. You must have be pegged ALL wrong. That wasn't the intent at all. I don't believe your post is out of context, I believe that you misread the TONE of my post, and since you called me arrogant...I can't help but believe this is the cas...

In C++ the std::vector is closer to a standard contiguously allocated array type. There is penalty for out of order insertion, out of order access and resizing. If you treat an std::vector similarly to a regular ol' array, you won't see much difference in performance. std::list is closer to the Arra...

Hey, slow down there, cowboy. Nobody's getting personal here, so let's try to keep the jabs to a minimum. Those who frequent the *IRC CHANNEL*....know that I take joking jabs at those who I know are younger and sometimes show it. The joke is that I often act far more immature than even the youngest ...

I have to disagree here. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that games are orders of magnitude more complex than even DC and PS games and what have you. We're talking teams numbering over 100 responsible for creating these monoliths. The technology is also orders of magnitude more advanced as is ...

Interesting indeed.

Would be a hard question to answer as I'm not even sure that I know the answer to "What *IS* the nature of man?" :]
Not sure what constitutes "man nature" :P

I'm being objective in answering the question that was asked :] (I'll bet you two will do just horribly on college tests )

If the question were asking for opinions about how to structure a proper image processing lib...well I can yapp your head off about that one :P

glEnable(GL_BLEND); // Enable alpha blending
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); // Will work for what you're doing....

Turn off blending or set it back when you're done rendering transparent faces.
