Marcus writes "Saw on Shugashack that NVidia has just filed a lawsuit against 3dfx seeking an injunction to stop all 3dfx Voodoo3/4/5 boards from shipping. NVidia's statement was 'This innovation is achieved through the annual investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development. We cannot allow the fruits of this investment to be misappropriated.'"

An anonymous reader pointed us to an interesting article over at Shugashack talking about John Carmack wanting to rewrite the Linux IP stack and write a software Winmodem driver for Linux. He wants to squeeze the latency out of both of these components to try to kick MS into gear to write better stuff on their side. If it turns out true, it could be pretty cool for gamers on both platforms. Don't put any stock in it, its just a rumor, but its interesting.

JayZee writes "The guys at Shugashack have word on John Carmack's plans now that Quake3 is finished. He's going to be looking into cyberspace virtual realities, and even better he's going to be working on open source projects like glx much more! " Well, that's a nice mix: Free Software projects and realizing cyberspace realities, combined with a man who can make them happen.

Jim P sent us a link to Shugashack which has a cool article talking about porting Quake to Linux. Its official though, there's gonna be a shrink wrapped box too.

Steve Gibson sent us to the first of many stories that proclaim that 3dfx will be supporting Linux. Specs and links are available now from 3dfx.com.
