Check out this article from www.tomshardware.com. Its about intergrated graphics from Intel and it haves FXT1 support!!! What other graphic chipset has this support and does it support glide? here is the link http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030903/integrated_graphics-02.html                                             http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030903/integrated_graphics-02.html     this is my first time on this forum so I hope my link is on their correctly, let me know. thanks

My understanding is that the FXT1 is open source by 3DFX many years ago before they got bought out so does that mean the hardware level is also open source for the public? By the way I just rebuilt an old pc with an old S3 Virge and I was suprise that only it did DirectX rendering (bearly) but it also ran some old glide games under glide!!!!! even the original 3DFX splash screen pop up. Wow, S3 Virge is glide compitable but it ran it like 1 fps, but it work. So far Mechwarrors 2 and Resident Evil work under glide on a S3 Virge but of course id but in a Voodoo 2 for better performance. Odd what other video card from the past or even the future will provide glide rendering...

Yes, it is a S3 Virge by Diamond and 2nd Mechwarrior 2 Mercenary only supports Direct X and Glide with their patch. A matter of fact when I installed the glide patch on the game and ran it I was wondering why it ran so slow then I realize I forgot to install the voodoo 2 card , then I tried other older glide games to see if the S3 Virge would render it and I was very suprise to see that some games under the glide rerdering mode (when you check on the option in the game to on) and will even show a splash screen under a S3 card, maybe installing the voodoo drivers and removing the voodoo card afterwards did the trick. More testing needs to be done.

So you are saying that glide is really opengl? If that is the case I can see why some glide games could be render under software emulation of opengl but how come I can't get a Matrox mystique to do the same thing unless the S3 has better opengl emulation??
