Depth buffering & transparency plz. help!

[W. C. Picker]

I got a 32bpp texture wih an alpha channel, and a few holes in it.
Is there a way to write to the depth buffer only the texels with alpha!=0 ?

but:
Dont want to disable depth writing.
Sorting wont do because i want polygons to intersect.

I think it might be possible, cause trees made of 2 intersecting masked textures are quite common.

I'd apreciate any help

Alpha testing should do the trick:

glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST);
glAlphaFunc(GL_NOTEQUAL, 0.0);

That's what I did, but it doesnt work for me. I must have erred somewhere...

Thanks anyway.
