Re: [Prboom-users] prboom is sloooooow...

if i'm not mistaken, Q3 provides it's own mesa, compiled with glide for
hardware acceleration.   so Q3 wouldn't be a fair game to compare your
situation with.  you want to compare with something that uses your
computer's installed libraries.

you might have a mesa problem.  are you sure you're using an up to date mesa
with the appropriate glide compiled in?   as i understand it, there are 2
branches of glide development.  the old (which doesn't support windowing mode)
and the new (which doesn't support most games which use GL).   i keep
reading the same thing on daryll strauss's website.  it feels like the newer
glide will never get done...

anyway, can you run test3dfx?
