I think if others also post on news.3dfx.com , 3dfx.glide.linux requesting a port of glide for FreeBSD it may increase our chances of getting a native glide library for FreeBSD. If you are not actively contributing this sure is a nice and easy way to contribute. For those who don't know what Glide is , Glide is a low level library interface to the Voodoo chipset which is a very popular 3d engine.
