which 3D card should i buy
i browser many resources about mesa,glide,glx,dri,xfree,3dfx ...
i just don't get the point.
i'd like to hear from a programmer which card is good
and which is a design failure ;)
as far as i understood it:
if i write a program, i can use OpenGL.
i can also add GLU and GLUT if i am lazy.
or i use QT/gl or GTK/gl or something like that.
but in the end it's always OpenGL.
OpenGL on linux means Mesa.
and mesa can display on all this stuff like
glide,3dfx,dri,glx, etc...
sometimes this only works if the program is run suid root.
what i want is i want to write opengl apps and they shall work.
i just can't figure out what to buy.
none of the linux 3D pages really tells me.
