With XFree86 3.3.6 i used the 3dfx device, and i remeber quite faster than the actual XFree86 4.0.3 3dfx DRI implementation, correct me if i'm wrong, in the latter case, OpenGL works as an additional software layer, based upon glide-dri... I think i've read somewhere it's still possible to use the 3dfx device with XFree86 4, but can't remember where, so if someone can point me in the right direction... Andrea
