I remember vaguely something along > the lines of "all the V3s are equal, but some are more equal than > others". Maybe I should go and buy myself a V1 or V2... The V3 runs faster and more stably with Glide2 and XFree3 than Glide3 and XFree4. Branden would have to make frequent uploads of CVS versions to keep DRI in top shape. Given that DRI in the current packages is the only thing that the current X configuration stuff doesn't do for you (in fact it's rather hostile toward it - I suspect Branden hasn't figured out the gritty details of DRI yet due to time or indifference. If you have a 3dfx card, you probably should be using CVS DRI, which can be made not too painful (but will uglify your XF86Config-4 file a bit..) -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Free software developer <doogie> dpkg has bugs? no way!
