[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, Steve. I'm the person who had been working on the /dev/3dfx device support for FreeBSD. I had planned on working on glide myself, but became rather busy on an internship at Texas Instruments. If you want an extra set of hands to help get this going, I'd be glad to work with you. Stephen Hocking had the audacity to say: > > I've managed to compile up a version of the latest glide3 that gives me OpenGL > acceleration on FreeBSD with a Voodoo3 under Xfree86-4.0.2 (although only as a > user - root fails to authenticate for some reason). I'll test it on a Voodoo5 > once I get one. It was rather tedious work, (basically looking for every ifdef > involving linux and making the appropriate additions) and once I figure out > how to tweak autoconf/automake to use the appropriate files I'll post a bunch > of patches. > > My next step is to start working on getting the latest DRI code to work under > FreeBSD. I've chosen the Voodoo stuff to do this because it has the simplest > kernel drivers (unlike my old G400). I guess the DRI people can poke me as > needed - I see a lot of work has gone on with the new Voodoo drivers plus the > Radeon. > > > Stephen > -- > The views expressed above are not those of PGS Tensor. > > "We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce > the Complete Works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know > this is not true."
