It's 2022: Linux Open-Source GPU Drivers Seeing 3dfx Glide API Support

Isn't it a bit late for a generic driver? I mean the glide driver alone is not enough, you may want lots of per game hacks and tweaks to solve various scaling and quality issues. The existed closed source solutions are full of non standard goodies and cookies.

one of the nice things about linux is all of that stuff can be fairly easy to implement. either at the compositor level like gamescope, or at a hardware level, I actively use an hd 4350 which could if I wanted to, drive gamescope directly on a CRT monitor.

I have use cases for this, this guy is my hero.

I'm interested in seeing if this works on a GeForce4 Ti/FX5800 or Radeon 8500/9700 Pro. If it does, I might be looking for a K6-III+ or Athlon XP box to shove Linux on.

if the cards support gallium it might work
