Mamakos: |I've been playing around with xlock just to see the pretty screensavers |zip along, as well as with vtk (/usr/ports/math/vtk) which is a visualization |toolkit. Pretty much all the testing I've been doing (and all of vtk) has |been in a window, rather than full-screen mode. Yeah, VTK and IBM Data Explorer are the two main power apps I have in mind running on the board. I use both at home and at work, though they're sweeter on the SGIs at work of course. :-) Looking forward to closing that 3D performance gap a bit, for SciVis tools and games. (BTW, I can't figure why anyone put the VTK port in the math directory. VTK = Visualization Toolkit = graphics / scientific visualization. Oh well, if everything made sense we'd all be bored.)
