The 3D code in 3.9.16 is not quite ready for prime time. It only supports one card (an expensive Glint card) and the kernel component of the driver model hasn't been ported to FreeBSD. A better solution for now is to use Marc van Woerkom's port to build the TNT glx driver for XFree86 3.3.x. This works but isn't as fast as it should be due to the limited architecture (compared to what will be in 4.0). -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
