I'm not quite sure. Searching their forums took me 10 minutes to get a 
direction for solving the problem. 10 minutes later, the problem was solved.
I don't use windows for various reasons. Want me to start?

Fine. Offer a better alternative. I think you could still find some 3Dfx 
cards, maybe on e-bay, and use them. As I remember, they opened their code 
before the end. You could also try and use S3 graphics, but it's far from 
being able to compete with both NVidia's and ATI's. Matrox maybe? You could 
get something, not nearly as good, but for more or less, the same price. 
Freedom is expensive - and so are Matrox cards.

True. Again, life and its weird way of dissappointing us...

Would it? What would you choose then?
