Well, hardware support of textures bigger than 256x256 pixels just ain't gonna happen. The hardware simply can't do it (that's a hardware texture size limit, not software). There's probably not going to be a lot of interest in pounding further on the Glide3 code, since the hardware is for all intents and purposes dead, and completely unsupported (nVidia will give you some kind of rebate deal on buying a newer GeForce-family board, but 3Dfx is dead, and nVidia owns all their interesting intellectual property now). -- Derrik Pates | Sysadmin, Douglas School | #linuxOS on EFnet [EMAIL PROTECTED] | District (dsdk12.net) | #linuxOS on OPN _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
