I have to disagree with this. Check out http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS_vb_glibc.html There is an Xserver being developed for the banshee. Also, full 3d rendering support is available through the glide drivers. 3dfx supplies the person who works on the linux glide port (and the xserver) with not only full technical details, but access to their actual engineers. As far as I know, NVidia has not shown anything in the way of linux support. Granted, the TNT2 is going to be a better card than the banshee/voodoo3, but what good is it if they have no linux support? eric. -- _____ _ | ____|(_) http://www.iit.edu/~jenseri | _| | | | |___ | | |______/ | |__/
