Well I can't get it working with glx either... After I configure everything according to readmes, when I try to run linuxquake3, I get the following error:
...loading libGL.so: Initializing OpenGL display ...setting mode 3: 640 480 Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 0.8 Couldn't get a visual ...WARNING: could not set the given mode (3) Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
Ya know, I think the MBone and all the other multicasting type experiments out there are perfect for distributing kernels/kernel patches. Too bad AFAIK no projects are in widespread use, otherwise we could have everyone download their kernels at once with no more load to the net in general than if just a couple accessed.
Well there already is a Geek Oppression webpage. I posted a story about my life in the Hellmouth there a while back and got tons of email from sympathetic people. A couple of other people also posted their stories.
I think it was cited in connection with an article (on slashdot) about half a year ago on the way College treats students.
So think of all the work people did submitting CD listings for CDDB.....
If they start charging or trying to advertise with access to the database, according to this thing they'd have to provide everyone who ever submitted something with some kind of reimbursement.
The Diamond Monster MX300 is supposedly very close to the SB Live... I think it's the same chipset.
I believe I once heard that drivers for one would be extremely easy to make work for the other, so does anyone know of any advances toward a driver for the MX300?
I think the chipset is called the Vortex 3D but someone correct me here.
Does anyone know where I can get software to play with the ART format? I read a bunch about it a while ago before AOL bought it completely, and have always had a curiousity about it.
Even just a compressor/viewer would be interesting to me.

It was a tough choice deciding between the SBLive! and the MX300, and looks like I picked the wrong one.

Just a thought with disjointed output.

Or something.....
So anyone know of a group working on drivers that will be free? (for us poor college students...)

Really?
I keep hearing about how Diamond can release drastic updates to the hardware adding completely new features through the programmable chipset/chip....
