DirectX/X-server

[Suhaib M. Siddiqi]

Steve,
Yes, you are right and it is on my list.  However this will make the
X-server specific for
3Dfx card only.  Till we get DirectX targets ready, I will work on
glide/3Dfx and release it.

Not all the users have Banshee/Vodooo3 or 2 (whatever) cards, therefore an
X-sever which would
run any graphics card under Cygwin/Windows is the goal.

Regards
Suhaib
