However, we do have HW 3d acceleration for 3dfx Voodoo3/4/5/Banshee, MGA Gx00, and ATI r128/radeon cards through the DRI. http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/ On Saturday 27 October 2001 18:04, you wrote: > Preface: this is not for games; it is for education and computational > geometry (just thought I'd mention my purposes are other than > recreational). > > Are there any OpenGL cards which FreeBSD fully supports?
