The impatient (who can't wait another hour or two until
I am finished with it) can do this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. download q3td from
http://www.quake3arena.com/demo
Note: this is 50 MB!
2. grab port from
http://www.freebsd.org/~3d/distfiles/glx
according to what XFree86 version you use
3. nuke your old Mesa-3.0 installation
4. make build the port (it will rebuild Mesa correctly)
5. grab the instructions from
http://www.freebsd.org/~3d/apps/games/quake3
(README plus the mail from Steve on Matrox and my response to RIVA)
6. Look and enjoy, and don't complain too much about lousy framerate..
Note: The RIVA driver in the port is slightly better than
the one from the most recent CVS version of glx.
However the Matrox driver in the port is 2-3 months behind
the most recent version. So the port will work, but is slower.
The CVS version might require a bit more fiddling, but is
faster. (I will work on the Matrox update next week)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please do not expect Windows like performance.
Buy a commercial OpenGL driver, or wait a bit.
The performance will improve!
Regards,
Marc
