However, it seems SGI has not provided us with the 3d acc. driver they must have (IRIX driver) so as to allow us to create one for XFree86. This means I may have to buy IRIX, though I would much rather use Linux. Why has SGI not provided the necessary specs/code for 3d (open GL in this case?) acceleration? Brandon
