Of course, this means you will need a Voodoo{1,2,3,Rush,Banshee} card or similar (e.g. Diamond Monster 3D in its various incarnations) to use it. The good news is that the Glide library is in the FreeBSD ports collection!!! (/usr/ports/graphics/linux_glide). And since I happen to have a Voodoo I (yeah, the original Diamond Monster 3D.. old school) sitting in my machine, I will give it a shot and keep you (and the list) posted as to how it works. BTW - the demo version does not have 3D rendering support, you need the commercial version (which I also have) to use Glide. -- Donald Burr WEB: http://www.Powered-By.AC/ PO Box 91212, Santa Barbara, CA 93190-1212 Tel:(805)957-9666 FAX:(800)492-5954 Member and software developer with The FreBSD Project - http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ *** FreeBSD *** A FREE, 32 Bit UNIX OS for PC's -- The Power to Serve!
