I would like to formally suggest that you should be nominated for sainthood. I think I just had a religious experience with seeing full screen xv driven video playing on my T23 for the first time since I've owned it. It is SOO beautiful! :) For the record, I'm running with: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #1: Thu Jun 26 04:50:40 PDT 2003 XFree86-4.3.0,1 Everything else, in the few short moments that I've been testing it, appears to be okay. The 3d aspects of this don't seem to be doing much. Tried viewing some OpenGL screensavers and they're as slow as ever. Still, and I really want to stress this point, what you did was a truly wonderful thing! Later on, -- "In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
