WineD3D,
Please be aware of this new OpenGL extension:
http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/vertex_array_bgra.txt http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/vertex_array_bgra.txt
This extension allows OpenGL implementations supporting the extension to implement the D3DCOLOR swizzle without any special coding. This extension is fully supported in hardware by NVIDIA's upcoming 180.xx series drivers for both Linux and Windows.
- Mark Kilgard, NVIDIA
Yeah, we noticed that extension a few weeks ago. It looks pretty useful (as well as some of the other new extensions), and we'll certainly start using it once there's driver support.
