Seriously.
The latest VMware claims 3D acceleration. But of course right now they only have Windows client support (and only Win2k and XP - no Vista or Win7 it seems). So I don't know if this COULD be used with a Linux driver to begin with (and we'd need support from VMware). But it might be something to explore. /D _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
