No it's not.  But I'm glad the -z100 -Z2000 settings for the clipping
planes fix it.  Those are the clip plane settings I used to fix it
for the 16Bit depth buffer on Mesa, so I guess I'll use them if the
GL_VENDOR or GL_VERSION strings contain the word "ATI".  I don't want
to do it for all 24bit depth buffers because default clip planes seem
to work on a 24bit Nvidia TNT.  I suspect ATI still has problems with
the polygon offset function in their drivers.

I'm not much of a video card buff, but doesn't ATI have video cards better
than the Rage 128?  Maybe you could use those settings if the GL_VERSION
contains "ATI" && GL_DEPTH_BITS is 24.  Just an idea.

If you wanted to limit to Macs, you could also check to see if GL_EXTENSIONS
contains "GL_APPLE".  I don't really know what I am talking about (like if
it will always work).  But it seems logical.

-J -z100 looks wonderful:

(...) Yeah, but I hear their drivers still suck. Until I hear otherwise, I'm gonna do it for *any* ATI driver. (...) Don't some of the newer Macs come with Nvidia cards these days? I'm sure they come with a whole different set of problems. Actually (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) Actually, it turns out that I just use -z100 to fix 16bit Mesa. So how does -J -z100 look on the Mac? Don (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
