<question id="x-3d-acceleration">
<para>How can I get 3D hardware acceleration for
OpenGL?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The availability of 3D acceleration depends on the
version of XFree86 you're using and the type of video chip
you have. If you have an NVIDIA chip, check out the
<ulink url="http://nvidia.netexplorer.org/">FreeBSD NVIDIA
Driver Initiative </ulink> page, which discusses 3D
acceleration for NVIDIA chips using XFree86-4. For other
cards with XFree86-4, including the Matrox G200/G400, ATI
Rage 128/Radeon, and 3dfx Voodoo 3, 4, 5, and Banshee,
information on hardware acceleration is available on the
<ulink
url="http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/">XFree86-4
Direct Rendering on FreeBSD</ulink> page. Users of
XFree86 version 3.3 can use the Utah-GLX port found in
<port>graphics/utah-glx</port> to get limited accelerated
OpenGL on the Matrox Gx00, ATI Rage Pro, SiS 6326, i810,
Savage, and older NVIDIA chips.</para>
