It's interesting but it looks like he's basing his code on the old UTAH GLX code, so I'm not sure if he'll be able to support anything newer than the GeForce1 gpu. It would be great if nVidia could release the specs for their old cards, but given their track record it's quite unlikely. You can always get an ATI card :-) > As a longtime BeOS user/developer and future Haiku ditto > it's very exciting to read of his progress in the realm of 3D. :) I used to run BeOS 4.5 as my main desktop for a while and there are some ideas from BeOS that might be adapted to DragonFly. I'm thinking rich metadata mainly and some parts of their API. Cheers, -- Miguel Mendez <flynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.energyhq.es.eu.org PGP Key: 0xDC8514F1
