[-- Attachment #1 --] It would be nice to stop implementing glide for use with mesa and all the other libs, simply because that is their old previously closed API and it basically conflicts with other cards. For some reason people still like to write for it over OpenGL. Changing the subject, with the new XFree86 imminent, is there any linux emulation port of the DRI libs yet? Can I just compile XF86 4.0 with the linux_devtools package? --cokane Doug Rabson had the audacity to say: > On Mon, 6 Mar 2000, Martin Cracauer wrote: > > > In <200003060756.CAA99613@otter.blackberry.net>, Christopher Masta wrote: > > > Forgive me if I'm missing something, but there are a lot of layers. > > > > > > Isn't software still needed to drive the Voodoo 3.. Glade? DRI is the X interface to it, but the driver still needs to be ported to FreeBSD, right?
