I tested 72. for compatibility with Descent3 and it does work. You need 3D
acceleration, and if you choose any color depth but 16 bit on install you not
only break the accel, it doesn't set up the
load 'glx'
statement in XFree-4.0.1 which makes it an automatic failure for Descent3
But if you read the doc and realize that 3D accel works ONLY in 65535 colors,
then you get a good install and Descent3 runs like a champ.
