Hello, Has anyone tried OpenGL software rendering with Nate Robins tutorial programs located here: http://www.xmission.com/~nate/tutors/tutors.zip I get a black background and the menus seem to be working, but that's it. Sometimes the programs produce areas of randomly colored pixels. However, if I then load the kernel module for my graphics card (Voodoo 5 5500) and restart X so I get hardware acceleration then the programs produce appropriate output. Currently, I'm learning GL programming using software rendering because the dri voodoo driver has a problem with colormaps. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else experiences similar problems with software rendering. My system is using the following: AMD Athlon classic 850Mhz EPOX EP-7KXA motherboard Voodoo 5 5500 vid card FreeBSD 4.7 with my own configuration XFree86 4.3.0 packages from packages-4-stable -- phil
