Knightmare:
|I have a diamond monster 3d, 4MB (supports 3dfx with a voodoo 1 chip..).
|I installed Mesa, installed xlockmore (in the ports...) and ran some of
|the GL savers. Like Sproingies and morph3d. They ran really slowly. I
|know it could go faster... Quake 1 and 2 run smoothly with my current
|setup under Win95. Why is it running so slow? My 2D card is a diamond
|Stealth64 with 1MB. Is it actually using my 3dfx card?
Probably not. 3dfx hardware support is imbedded in a 3dfx-proprietary
library that 3DFX hasn't delivered for FreeBSD. There is one for Linux
though, and by jumping through hoops this can be made to work on FreeBSD -
but only with entirely Linux binaries/shared libs/etc.etc. Bit of a pain.
|And how can I get Quake 1 and 2 working in FreeBSD? The Linux ports give
|me crap. Should I be able to use these?
Might check out. Linux GLQuake works OK for me with my Pure3D:
