--- Comment #14 from Daniel Richard G. skunk@iskunk.org 2010-11-10 11:50:58 PST --- Many thanks for getting that in! I'll give the new code a try once the PPA is updated.
So r100, at the hardware level, doesn't support point sizes larger than 1.0. "Fixing" this bug, then, would require implementing a software emulation of point sprites (as was suggested in the original circa-2003 bug discussion). I suppose this might be worthwhile if it were a cross-driver facility, such that it would benefit any hardware that lacks large-point powers. But for r100 alone, I think it's reasonable to point out that the problem is not in the software. WONTFIX sounds fine to me.
For reference, the aforementioned commit---plus the one that drops DD_POINT_SIZE as well as DD_LINE_WIDTH---are viewable here:
