It'd certainly be nice to get 3D support under X. That would make permedia 2
cards a whole lot more interesting, probably, for example.

Hmm? Nothing that follows the display, is it? I mean, like the sound
automatically going to your local machine, even though you are logged in
through ssh to another machine, and are running a sound application there.
Just like the graphics is automacically transfered by setting DISPLAY right
(which ssh does for us, as we know).

And explain "NCD's nas"? :-) There are six unknown letters in there I don't
get. What is "NCD", and what's "nas"? :-)

I guess I'll have to take a look there.
