From the project website at http://dri.sourceforge.net/ The Direct Rendering Infrastructure, also known as the DRI, is a framework for allowing direct access to graphics hardware in a safe and efficient manner. It includes changes to the X server, to several client libraries, and to the kernel. The first major use for the DRI is to create fast OpenGL implementations. It was developed originally for Linux, but there is a FreeBSD effort located at http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/ The project seems to be targeted for X86 only My goal is to get it running on the Alpha platform, but first, i needed to verify that i have a workable hardware config, therefore the Linux install. On linux, even on my low-end Ati Rage 128 Pro card (16MB) the improvement versus software 3d (Mesa) is tremendous, i.e bzflag is very playable at 1024x768x16bpp Regards Roberto To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
