Could anyone update me on the status of DRI on Alpha? Most of us are stuck using PCI cards since only later hardware has AGP. Has anyone had success with the Voodoo cards (ie. 5500 PCI) or maybe the Matrox G400? Naturally I'm implying hardware acceleration and not software drivers. Will this support be in the next XFree86 release? It's been a looooooong wait for 3D on Alpha... /Michael |

Yes, we are doing 3D for PCI cards on the Alpha for one of our contracts. The initial code for doing that is in our SourceForge tree and will be rolled into XFree at some point. We can't promise it'll make it into the next XFree release. We don't announce release dates. It'll be in XFree as soon as it is ready. - |Daryll |
