I was unable to get Quake2 to work with the GL driver though... I still need to work on that. Unfortunately, the Linux XF86_SVGA renders the console quite useless except for Ctrl-Alt-Del when switching from X to a text console. :( :( If someone who builds a FreeBSD binary could stick it on a web/ftp site somewhere, I'd much appreciate it. -- Brian Buchanan brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org daemon(n): 1. an attendant power or spirit : GENIUS 2. the cute little mascot of the FreeBSD operating system To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
