3D acceleration in in preparation: the next release of BeOS (R5, coming in
summer) will be capable of 3d acceleration based on OpenGL. OpenGL is
already running, but in software mode. It should take no great efforts to
write those OpenGL drivers, because several companies have announced support
for BeOS.
By the way: i have already read in some newsletters etc. that the guys at Be
are already playing Quake II at Be...so why shouldn't it be possible to port
Quake 3??
