    I've done some googling on the topic, and I'm going to start a new
    thread in COLP about it. But if I can't get 3d acceleration working
    under Linux, then much of my motivation for installing Linux (beyond
    "cuz I can") goes pft. I was hoping to be able to play ETF
    (http://etfgame.com/) under Linux. No can do without 3d
