Hi,

what is the status of NetBSD (3.x or 4.x) with respect to
support of 3D features of graphics cards? I am interested
in
- supported card models,
- which version of NetBSD (3.x vs 4.x),
- which version of X11 (XFree86 vs Xorg),
- how to enable, and maybe
- where to get more detailed NetBSD information on this
   topic.

I ask because OpenGL applications are painfully slow on
my machine, and I consider buying another graphics card
-- provided NetBSD supports its 3d hardware acceleration
features.

Cheers
     Ingolf
