That was on a 4.0 machine (bi-celeron). I had some questions because the port skeleton grabbed from www.freebsd.org/~3d seems not to correctly set up a TCLSH variable and also did not built TCL8 as a dependency (easily patched by hand) I've got now a hardware-accelerated OpenGL (but still not very fast, even on y fast machine - but I have still to investigate the case) TfH To: Mike Morgan cc: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" (bcc: Thierry HERBELOT/FR/ALCATEL) Subject: Re: slow opengl response if you have already installed XFree with the nvidia driver + glx it's not normal, check the library in /usr/X11R6/lib they are proably symboly linked to the software opengl (Mesa). if not. I'm not sure for your board but the winfast geforce DDR was not recognized by XFree 3.3.6 so I had to rebuild XFree from the source with the new nvidia driver (works fine in 2D) check nvidia web site http://www.nvidia.com they have the latest drivers with source code for XFree and the part for glx (I'm trying to compile glx for FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE) I've dowloaded all the parts but not rebuilded everything.
