I'd say, after a big cleanup, my nVidia driver should be there as well.
The right driver should somehow be selected on a user's system of
course..
Philippe, CopyPixels needs to be implemented as well: Blender needs it:
the author? (Michael Weirauch) currently has a private extended version
of BGLView to work with...
I think it could be helpfull to contact him..

I'd love to see the nvidia 3D add-on implemented that way!

Status update: Z-buffer trouble fixed again: I introduced a fault
myself.
Next up: 2D/3D driver sync init trouble fix, then remaining HW
rendering functions update, then benchmarking!
Should be all up within a week (or so) now... (!)
Rudolf.
