Hello all,

I'm user of FreeBSD, Solaris and Linux doing Administration work and as 
well 3D programming sometimes. I am trying to get your oppinions related 
with 3D/Xserver under FreeBSD -

Accelerated X is a product from www.xig.com 
which is cool and runs without any problems. Support offered by them 
is really professional and cool. They now have Summit 
version of the same product which comes with OpenGL libraries and it is 
charged for specific video card ( example: if you have Radeon 8500 then 
you have to pay around 100USD some time limited offer and you get the 
drivers for that card. If you have another card you need a different 
driver and might cost different)

Now Summit is only available for Solaris Intel and Linux Intel. I have 
several times tried to get the version for FreeBSD but xig's answer was 
without a minimal interest they would not provide support and development 
for Summit OpenGL on FreeBSD 

Question: Is anybody here interested to setup a list where people could 
sign and I could drop it to the main support guy, Bryan Chambers ? 
At least doing so we could see if there is any interest in OpenGL under 
FreeBSD and more possibilities than XFree86 as a X Server. People which 
are willing to pay could as well keep small market for products which runs 
under FreeBSD.

What do you guys think ?

stefan
