Well, I develop a large OpenGL visualization application for weather radar volume data, and my G400 card would freak out and paint garbage all over the screen whenever I loaded up some big textures. So I was waiting for someone to get the latest DRI stuff aptable, and I am grateful. My recent workaround has been to use the utah-glx stuff, but then I didn't get antialiased fonts in KDE. -- Thomas E. Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CIMMS/NSSL, Norman, OK, USA
