I just installed a few extra libraries from www.mesa3d.org (the prebuilt Windows ones) and it dropped straight in, no changes to anything else :) Given the increased frame rate and the logo I can only assume it was using acceleration... Be warned though, its a bit flaky, like trying to use the mouse drops you back to Windows and some other weird stuff happens. But this project is too cool!! Regards. Steve.
