(I know I'm 3 weeks late chiming in on this thread, but I just got to playing with my Pure3D in FreeBSD w/ GLQuake, Mesa, et all last weekend. Works nicely.) Brian Tao: |# ./glquake |[...] |PackFile: ./id1/pak0.pak : gfx/palette.lmp |PackFile: ./id1/pak0.pak : gfx/colormap.lmp |loop 0 |svgali vc ?? 1 |key one 0 |return from key init |./glquake: can't resolve symbol 'fxMesaCreateContext' |# | | At this point, the machine is still running happily, but the |console keyboard mapping is completely hosed, and I have to do a |remote reboot to clear it up. I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't |kill the keyboard... Well, once before I had everything set up quite right I had it dump out on me, and as you say it hosed the console leaving it in some strange mode. Once I got setup, the same thing happened anytime I forgot to run it as root (so glide.so could detect & get at the Voodoo board as I recall). After I cooked a setuid-root perl wrapper script to run glquake, I haven't had any problems since. I'm guessing this whacked-out console state might be libvga not getting an opportunity to reset the terminal back from that pseudo-raw mode Amancio mentioned a while back. But that's just a guess mind you. Randall
