They supply their own (binary only) driver for=20 =46reeBSD that provides full OpenGL hardware acceleration. I have a fairly = low=20 end card, a Geforce 256 DDR (well, it was high spec at the time), and for m= e=20 their driver is fast and reliable. The binary onlyness may be of concern to some but it doesn't really bother = me.=20 =46WIW, I can imaging the code to program a GPU to do hardware assisted Ope= nGL=20 is somewhat complex and would probably mean about as much to me in vi as th= e=20 binary version does. =2D-=20 Mark --nextPart2291502.hbsl1R6aAG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBphEOLqgJ90OcaiARAujhAKC9RAsWCYGeL3k16RVrg2VKn+luAwCggT+g PaBzpj6NjDqU43JiZzSv3+0= =O3t1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2291502.hbsl1R6aAG--
