I seem to recall that Voodoo (maybe 2) has a beta OpenGL driver. There are a bunch of bugs with it though. The main thing is that there MUST be a fully compliant OpenGL driver. The quake miniport, etc. won't work. The FireGL 1000 is supposed to be pretty good and costs a few hundred.
It also seems like GEM is running slower with this release under software acceleration...has anyone else experienced this? I don't normally run under software, so it is really hard for me to test it.
If people let me know what hardware accelerators they are using, I will compile a list. I am putting together a "benchmark" patch so that people can tell how well the cards will do (with texturing, polygons, etc). I would really like information about acceleration under Linux.
Later, Mark
