These would be for 2D only from the old 3dfx open-source linux site.
In their dying days, 3dfx made a half-hearted effort to allow
developers to write Linux drivers, but conveniently left out all 3D
specs.
I'm fairly sure the specs for Voodoos using 3D have never been
officially released - nor will they ever be.
Indeed, even though Be Inc. received some info (enough to do HW OGL on
the V3/V4/V5), they apparently didn't receive the docs to activate the
2nd VSA-100 chip on the V5's.
Its good to know about the Matrox info, but does that cover all the 3D
features of their cards, including Environmental Bump Mapping etc ?
cheers
