Hello, I am in the process of porting the GLIDE library to FreeBSD/i386 which is making good progress so far. My worst enemy has been the build system itself and the huge amount if `#ifdef __linux__' in the code. I am doing this in the light of the Quake source code release, which I'd like to play natively with 3dFX hardware... :) (for the interested: I have already gotten the server and X11 client to build, but I haven't tested them yet.) My question is about this particular piece of code in swlibs/fxpci/pcilib/fxlinux.c, around line 70: if (iopl(3)<0) { pciErrorCode = PCI_ERR_NO_IO_PERM; return FXFALSE; } Does anyone know what 'iopl(3)' is supposed to do, and what it's equivalent on FreeBSD is (if at all available)? The code this is in is about opening the /dev/3dfx device (which is not available for FreeBSD so it'll fail anyway), so I _could_ just remove it, but I'm not so certain... Also, IANAL, so could anyone tell me if the 3DFX license permits me to publish my patches under a BSD-style license?
