I was writing a small test program to display a single quad
polygon with a texture (FT4). It all worked fine but I was
wondering what is the "correct" size of the packet array that
you have to pass to GsSetWorkBase(). The docs say an FT4
primitive has an olen of 9. So I thought the array should be of
the length 9x4=36. But it didnīt work. Then I tried to find the
smallest number that worked. It is 8488. Can anybody tell me
how to calculate that number? Another stange thing is that that
number works fine with 4 FT4 polygons as well (I havnīt tried
more yet).
