I've started down the path of OpenGL hackery, and am looking for recommendations on good video cards support by X.org that have hardware accelerated OpenGL. I'll be running this on 5.3-stable. Thus far searches have indicated that ATI is to be avoided, NVIDIA is decent, and "All cards supported by the DRI open source drivers work fine in FreeBSD." I would hope that if a card is said to "work fine" actually does do hardware OpenGL. (I have a laptop with a savage twister [0x8d01] that works fine with X, albeit very slowly. It'd be nice to have that usable.).
If people would care to bounce me a dmesg or hardware description, X/Mesa/etc. versions and some glxgears framerates (csdemo framerates would be even better), that'd be much appreciated. I'd prefer to not have a completely frankensteined system, but if I need to be running some package straight out of CVS, then so be it. To forestall the ever-popular cries of STFA, I've already done some digging: http://www.google.com/search?q=FreeBSD+OpenGL+acceleration http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/search.cgi?words=OpenGL&max=250&sort=score&index=recent&source=freebsd-newbies&source=freebsd-questions&source=freebsd-x11 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questions&w=2&r=1&s=OpenGL&q=b http://dri.sourceforge.net/ http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/11.18.shtml http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ ... -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
