So the word is that -generic- won't support 3d because it doesn't have
DRM, but you could always have an OpenBSD kernel with DRM compiled in?
Just want to be sure.

And I thought, Ted, that you had been working on DRM for OpenBSD, but I
couldn't find much about it. Do I have my facts straight?

the radeon driver does support 3d.  if you have a kernel with drm, it
