You'd also save some money. The performance of Voodoo is lousy. It can't handle a single 3D operation (in a window). Voodoo rush can handle lots. Therefor the rush has much better performace. :-) :-) Quake isn't the ONLY thing you can use 3D accelerators for, ya know. Loosing a little fps in fullscreen can easilly be worth it if you gain it back elsewhere (VRLM, etc). Not that that has any real support under XFree86, though. :-( Anyone know if there are any plans to build in openGL or something, in XFree86? Personally I want something like X11 with OpenGL support and "setenv AUDIO" support. > Once Bill Gates has FreeBSD on his PC I'll forgive you for having win95 on > yours! Like JHK hasn't proven his loyalty to FreeBSD enough? And Microsoft ran/runs FreeBSD on some of their webservers or something, IIRC. /Mikael
