Alpha blending + pbuffer = doesn't work !!

[991060]

Hi all:
I'm using pbuffer as my rendertarget, and Cg for both vertex and fragment program. I found that alpha blending doesn't work properly in this situation. For example:

1. glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ZERO) gives correct result.
2. glBlendFunc(GL_ZERO, GL_ONE) gives black screen.
3. glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE) gives same result as 1.
4. glglBlendFunc(GL_DST_COLOR, GL_ZERO) gives black screen.
5. glBlendFunc(GL_ZERO, GL_SRC_COLOR) gives black screen.

It seems the content of the pbuffer is lost before alpha blending takes place, any idea why? Forgot to mention, I cleared the z-buffer after drawing the first pass, will this be a problem?

blending is working just fine. You must not understand the blending function. Did you read chapter 6?

Errr, is it correct?

Why does 2 and 4 give black screen?

At first, you have a black screen after
glClearColor( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 );
glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT );
If you're drawing something with
glBlendFunc(GL_ZERO, GL_ONE)
you takking no color component from something_you_are_drawing (GL_ZERO) and full color component from black background (GL_ONE) = you'll have black colored something_you_are_drawing:
0 * ( R, G, B ) + 1 * ( 0, 0, 0 ) = ( 0, 0, 0 )

something_you_are_drawing colored with black background color (GL_DST_COLOR) + no color component from background (GL_ZERO) = black something_you_are_drawing on black background = black screen

Another question:
Why I'm getting black screen with 3-d antialiasing using blend function like in The Redbook's example:
glBlendFunc (GL_SRC_ALPHA_SATURATE, GL_ONE) ?
What another blend func I have to use?
