The X inside Group have just released beta X servers that accelerate 3D
features on some cards. This allows OpenGL stuff to run rather well. They
state that they need a working threads implementation, and from some hints, I
gather that user space threads aren't enough. They've released them for SCO
Unixware & Linux. FreeBSD is prominent by its absence.

PS - I intend having the /dev/3dfx driver mostly finished this weekend. I've
had to cope with my source drive dying, and a number of emergencies at work.
