I looked in the support forums on the Matrox site, and people seem to be having mixed results. 400 fps in gears (ouch!), but Q3 and UT being playable. Not exactly sure how that could work... > However, if you can get doco, it should be reasonably easy to add > transformation support (I don't think the card does lighting???). In searching the net, I don't even think it really supports transformations. As near as I can tell, it only supports blending transformed verticies. I'm starting to wonder if that's even useful at all. On another note, there was some brief discussion in May of last year about environment bump-map (EMBM) support on the Matrox cards. The final "conclusion" was that it was not supported by the DRI because there was no extension that covered it. About 3 months after that discussion, the ATI_envmap_bumpmap extension appeared. Does anyone know if this extension and the functionality of the Matrox hardware are a good match? The extension document (see the link below) doesn't mention anything about IP status, but that may or may not actually mean anything... http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ATI/envmap_bumpmap.txt http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00490.html -- Tell that to the Marines! _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
