Hello,
I am in the process of porting the GLIDE library to FreeBSD/i386
which is making good progress so far. My worst enemy has been the
build system itself and the huge amount if `#ifdef __linux__' in
the code.
I am doing this in the light of the Quake source code
release, which I'd like to play natively with 3dFX hardware... :)
(for the interested: I have already gotten the server and X11
client to build, but I haven't tested them yet.)
My question is about this particular piece of code in
swlibs/fxpci/pcilib/fxlinux.c, around line 70:
if (iopl(3)<0) {
pciErrorCode = PCI_ERR_NO_IO_PERM;
return FXFALSE;
}
Does anyone know what 'iopl(3)' is supposed to do,
and what it's equivalent on FreeBSD is (if at
all available)?
The code this is in is about opening the /dev/3dfx device
(which is not available for FreeBSD so it'll fail anyway),
so I _could_ just remove it, but I'm not so certain...
Also, IANAL, so could anyone tell me if the 3DFX license
permits me to publish my patches under a BSD-style license?

- Why, oh why didn't I take the _blue_ pill?
