    The brief test i did looked worse than using mipmaps. But having
said that, as a GL newbie al I did was simply using glTexImage2D with
the base image level and texture param set to GL_LINEAR.

    I shall look into this a bit more. Thanks for the pointer.

    Anything I should probably do is to reduce the size of the builtin texture,
512x256 is probably too big for how it's being used.
