Hello everyone,

  I posted this question on the "FrescoVsXComments"
section of the 
Fresco.org website, but this forum is a better place.
I have a question 
about 3D acceleration in Fresco. According to this
message:

<http://lists.fresco.org/pipermail/fresco-devel/2003-March/019089.html>

  One has to use SDL with the DGA driver (i.e. SDL on
X) in order to get 
3D acceleration for Fresco via SDL under Linux. I know
that the nVidia 
OpenGL library (which is hardware accelerated) is tied
to the nVidia 
Linux kernel module. Is there a way to get Fresco to
load the nVidia 
Linux kernel module (nvidia.o) in order to access
graphic cards 
direclty? Or is the nVidia Linux kernel module X
specfic? Is the idea 
behind the nVidia kernel module the same as what the
KGI project is 
trying to do?
