there is 3d support
utah-glx works fine on FreeBSD, i have been
using it on riva tnt.
there are now kernel drivers for AGP support
(patches on utah glx site).
on my riva tnt
quakeforge works fine
quake2 is playable
i havent tried q3 but i heard that it is working too.
unfrotunately for riva tnt there is no direct rendering support.

DO NOT MAKE DLL. Dynamic linking still infects your code. Convert this maplay dll into "mp3 decompression server" and it will be SEPARATE PROGRAM. Communicate with this server using shared memory. You will have to release sources of "mp3 decompression server" only.
Another option is using original amp sources by Tomislav Uzelac. It has very nice license.
And last you can use Microsoft MP3 decompressor. Latest versions of Windows Media Player or Windows Media Tools contain MP3 decoder. You will have to use COM(yuck) to use this decoder.
Well, have you ever killed fly on the wall with TV set or webpad/palmpilot ? Also when you run out of toilet paper, newspapers can be useful and TV/webpad not really:)
Well DDC and 7111 use the same i2c bus. So if DDC works 7111 should work too (actually windows driver said: "you cant capture video with your monitor", and i had to remove jumper on card to disable DDC). 7111 docs should be available from Philips. I dont think nVidia wont give any information. They support Linux. I didnt know digitized data is transferred on separate bus, honey:)
well, there is reasonable opengl support with XFree86 and GLX module (glx.on.openprojects.net) for matrox g200/g400 and riva tnt/tnt2. quake2 gives me some 27fps (timerefresh) on my freebsd box (with linux emulation) on my riva tnt.
i think there are some projects to support matrox frame grabber hardware (raibowrunner/marvel ?) so maybe support for matrox is better.
my riva tnt (asus v3400tv) has phillips saa7111 chip on i2c bus. v3800tv (tnt2) has phillips saa7112 (little better one)
i dont know if there is any support for i2c bus under linux. if so nvidia framebuffer driver should give access to this i2c bus. and then i dont know about saa7111 driver.
it seems there will be more cards with opengl acceleration when Xfree86 4.0 with DRI will be out.
Like if you write a book your publisher has no right to remove your name from the cover. Doesnt it work this way for programs? It should be in copyright law.

well, performance is the same (or better ;-))
linux emulation in freebsd is just another set
of entrypoints into kernel.
