There has been a problem reported to us, which appears to be fixed by using the Glide3 lib on the SF page according to reports like the above. I'm not sure if the sources used in both cases are the same, or if it is just a flaw in our build process for the Voodoo5 Glide3 library. I suspect the way we are building it has been flawed slightly, which is the likely cause of the problem. I've planned on looking into the problem, and making test builds, however I cant test it myself as I dont have the hardware. Is anyone on this list, who has a Voodoo 4 or 5, interested in working with me and beta testing some new Glide3 builds with our current XFree86 4.2.0 packages? If so, we can likely ensure this is fixed in the next release. Thanks Brian for the reminder about this. Take care, TTYL -- Mike A.
