For some reason people still like to write for = it over OpenGL. Changing the subject, with the new XFree86 imminent, is there any linux emulation port of the DRI libs yet? Can I just compile XF86 4.0 with the linux_devtools package? --cokane Doug Rabson had the audacity to say: > On Mon, 6 Mar 2000, Martin Cracauer wrote: >=20 > > In <200003060756.CAA99613@otter.blackberry.net>, Christopher Masta wrot= e:=20 > > > Forgive me if I'm missing something, but there are a lot of layers. > > >=20 > > > Isn't software still needed to drive the Voodoo 3..
