Okay, I'm not sure but I'm also on the 3dfx/DRI list :) [still looking at possibly making a DRI loader for GGI but haven't built up the energy *sigh*] You fully understand the X authentic scheme they use? Oh, and 3dfx/opengl is being made -very- X/DRI specific. The attitude is that X/DRI

I've had many email pass between Joseph Kain and myself... I usually send anyone with a Glide problem I can't answer his way (poor guy!) I can imagine. He seems like a really nice guy. I answer question about fbdev all the time. There is a GGI Glide target, but it's 2D. What's wanted is

Sure, and you could simply draw two or three screens that way instead of drawing six. In fact, if you ever get GL hardware support in GGI, it might be possible to have 3 screens rendered in HARDWARE.. That would just seriously kick ass! Howdy!!! I back from my trip from San Jose. What
