No, DMA isn't yet done. Frank Earl has most of the work done except for the security, for which a solution has yet to be found. His work is not yet on a CVS branch, although I hope it will be in a near future. > 2. Counter-strike/wine in OpenGL mode.

You have to decrease the screen resolution and/or reduce the textures details to be able to fit more texture into the onboard memory. This also affects the framerate because the driver fails to cache a decent number of textures in the onboard memory so is constantly needing to upload them which, again, is also very slow since it does that through PIO. AGP/DMA gives a big boost on performance because it gives faster communication with the card and allows to extend the card memory with the main memory. > Also in console, a lot of messages: > > mach64UploadTexImages: ran into bound texture > > What does this mean? Is it bad or good? Is it fixable? I've been looking into the code and it seems that the driver was trying to free textures to alocate a new one but ran into a texture that was bounded to texture processing unit, so it failed to allocate space for the new texture. So it's basically the same problem. > > 3. About the fog. Really, the problem is not in the fog. The "fog" demo > works OK. > > 4. About signal 11. It seems the problem was about vt.
