exactly! the linux compatibility libraries that get installed are the very same ones that get installed under linux. since the drivers work perfectly under linux the problem running linux 3d apps under freebsd can 100% be blamed on the linuxulator. right now i'm switching back to the linux_base-fc4 to see if it works under CURRENT, but i very much doubt it. cheers.
