In response to earlier questions, yes, it does run the GL code with hardware acceleration, and it is quite noticeable. XFree86 4.0 won't be out until late summer, I believe, from what I read on the XFree pages. It's nice to be able to use this in the interim, even if the real major step for 3d performance is XFree86 4.0. I've created a binary archive of what I believe to be the necessary components to utilize this functionality (including the XF86_SVGA server) and placed this online at http://www.31337.com/~lb/FreeBSD ... for those who asked. Anyone interested in making a package of this is more than welcome, and it sounds like that might be appropriate given this is a pretty monstrous build at marginally larger size than X itself. (I'll cease conversation on ports of this now if that is indeed the case) Fred On Tue, Jun 08, 1999 at 11:37:03AM -0400, Michael Imor wrote: > Anybody have the SVGA and libGL binaries located on a ftp somewhere?
