Re: Glide recommendations? (was Re: Voodoo3 recommendations?)
well, again its not a hardware issue but a software one.
to do 3D rendering in a window you have 2 options(as far as i know)
1) use XF86 v4.0 (which is alpha)
2) get the developers edition of OpenGL AcceleratedX (about $300 i think)
any of the v3 3dfx cards should do this but not in XF86 3.3.5. Note if
you use XF86 4.0 chances are none of the games will work(until they are
updated for XF86 4.0).
or you could get a Matrox G400 and use openGL and u get anll the
in-windowing acceleration you want in XF86 3.3.5 (same for Riva and TNT
and Geforce)..
does this help?
