<para>
Even if the depth buffer exists and the depth mask is non-zero, the
depth buffer is not updated if the depth test is disabled. In order to
unconditionally write to the depth buffer, the depth test should be enabled
and set to <constant>GL_ALWAYS</constant> (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDepthFunc</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
