I am curious how much of this can be simplified by using xfree86 3.9.16? For me it compiles out of the box on freebsd (even with gcc 2.95.2) and comes with GLX etc. It was a slight challenge to trick ports into using whatever "native" 3d stuff there was instead of software but I did manage to get glclock working. I was using a g200 and a 4m pci mystique with dualhead under X and I could tell hardware acceleration was working because glclock would just smear up when I moved it over to the monitor without hardware 3d. :) Anyone know if G400 is supported at least as well in any aspects? (GLX and dualhead support) On Sat, 27 Nov 1999, Marc van Woerkom wrote: >> I wish somebody would make a port of this so that others >> could follow more easily in your footsteps.
