The priginal ("Windows") version from the CDs does support three modes: "DirectX" (at least 3.0 required, 9.x provided by wine), Glide, and OpenGL (provided by Mesa). I'm currently running the OpenGL version because "DirectX" doesn't really work - most textures are just black / missing. I have also successfully set the permissions for the direct rendering. In 3D screensavers from xscreensaver, as well as with the test program glxgears, the results are fully sufficient. On the same hardware, I've been playing OpenArena, and the graphics were smooth and complete (and opaque things were visible, no accidental see-through or invisibility), as well as Quake II (also worked without problems). > I did have a working joystick in Blender + DualShock Playstation4 > controller connected over USB (did not get into BT HID yet).. analog sticks > and buttons worked well, but not all functions worked (i.e. gyroscope > readings did not work) but I guess that could be fixed with HID > descriptors.. On my DOS machine, I have a Logitech Wingman, one of the best joysticks regarding preceision and layout (right hand thumb can easily control secondary control as well as forward / back- ward buttons), and I did actually use this to play Descent and Descent 2 on that machine. Plus, Descent II has a very good game music provided as CD-Audio (which also works due to the internal cabling - no system load generated). Things were easier on DOS, even without Internet... ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
