Secondly: if 3d support is too far avay in the future, then does anybody know if xigraphics Summit driver is a useable alternative? Thanks in advance!

Anders Saaby I did some benchmarks on http://www.tommti-systems.de/main-Dateien/news010202_150202.html They support OpenGL 1.2 and I had some crashes during my tests. $129 isn't also that cheat Thomas ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

It must be somehwere in arkiv. Was this with their newest update, which fixed several bugs? I tested their driver with a Radeon SDR and an MGA-550. I found some bugs (especially with stereo) which are fixed in the newest version. My impression was that it has many fewer bugs than XFree86, but also has fewer features available, but I didn't do thorough testing, judst tried a few programs that I am interested in using. Xig will give you updates, but if you buy a different video card, you'll have to buy another server. Joe Krahn ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
