No, Glide3x isn't really backward compatible with Glide2x.  There are some
minor differences, for example Glide2x has a vertex format (GrVertex) while
Glide3x does not, it lets you specify your own.  Glide3x's system query
method is different.  Its not a lot of work to port a Glide2x application to
Glide3x but you can't just recompile the sources.

I was just wondering why you decided to start with Glide3.01.  Glide3 isn't
really used for anything, and probably won't be.  3.10 for Voodoo3 gets used
by the new DRI drivers, but for Voodoo2 any existing software makes use of
Glide2, (2.53 for Voodoo2).  It might make more sense to start there. 

well - daryll told me - if i remember corr - that it should work with mesa.

but i have to agree that i just took the latest release without knowing that
it is not used by anything.
i thought that it is backward compatible...
isn't it?
