BeOS breaks into gaming..Ant question

[red2]

A Quake II port was released today for BeOS. The tests were done on a Voodoo3 but were still impressive for an early release of Beta Gl drivers. They got around 30fps in 800x600.

Ant-Matrox has some BeOS support and you have Be. Would you download the port and test it just to see how it runs on a Matrox card?

I'll take a look and see if there is any support for GL in the G200 drivers yet. Be said they would have support in their drivers by late summer.

Nope, the Gx00s don't currently have full OpenGL support in BeOS 4.5. According to this FAQ,

<a href="http://begamer.supergeek.org/q2faq.php3">http://begamer.supergeek.org/q2faq.php3</a>

only the 3Dfx cards currently have the necessary driver support.

Let's hope Be releases updated drivers before 5.0 arrives...

Well, perhaps it does work, kinda. See this:

I never have bought Quake 2... I can't give it a try...
