PEX is several years away from the cutting edge of graphics. I'm not sure that it even supports texture mapping. A better base for working on 3D acceleration is Mesa which is exactly what the guys at Precision Insight (www.precisioninsight.com) are doing to create a decent modern 3D solution for Linux and BSD. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
