It was simply not possible given the current way the XAA layer is architected. It's incompatible with how the creator3d DRM stuff needs to work. I discussed this with Ben Collins at the time I did the work, and having the creator3d driver support render properly and making the driver easier to maintain (by making it use the XAA layer) was more important than the lousy 3d support. Frankly, if any texturing is done, the software rendering is in fact faster than when the DRM stuff on creator3d was working. The only thing faster with the creator3d opengl support was purely non-textured rendering, which is nice for pretty screensavers but that's about it. Like I said in my other email, I welcome contributions from people to get the 3d stuff working again.
