:D No, i am no developer but that sounds just great! Is this just about FreeBSD? Linux drivers have no 3d support yet, afaik. At least thats what i read here: http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/tech_support/emaillinux_form.cfm Well, i have a Matrox P650 (which is a "halved" parhelia and pretty cheap!) and i hope someone will do this driver. Its not just about parhelia, the Matrox P650/P750 could be using the driver too! Both are excellent cards and offer enough 3d performance for some quake1 maybe quake3!!?? not tested yet as the card still has to arrive... So, support for three new cards in one mtx driver sounds just great, isnt it? *looks at DRI developers* PLEASE DO IT Jan -- Cannot find weapons or CIA Error Iraqi Explorer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
