RE: [Stepmania-devs] ONe more thing

Hi James.

Try building the code that in CVS and see if it's any better.  With
GLDirect uninstalled, SM should fall back to D3D.  Also, don't bother
testing with the May 28th release because there have been some
significant changes to the D3D code since that time.

Thanks,
-Chris
