IIRC, a more recent version of Descent ran in 640x400x256, or was that Descent 2? An X version (like XDoom) would be better IMO, I like being able to go kill shaved gorillas while keeping an eye on something doing a mundane task. It's also nice because I can easily hide it if the boss comes along to ask me to do something really outrageous (like work). Mind you, I have no idea what programming in X is like. -- Knowledge is the perception of truth distorted by reality PGP Key: www.spiritone.com/~dionn/pgpkey Fingerprint: 312E F076 35D0 8EEB 4B2A DC8A 04FC 1543 3B2C 0502 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
