There is nothing like that Linux. I generally run it in framebuffer
mode despite the fact that the framebuffer driver constrains me to
640x480x8....=(
Or with the TWM for X'doze. -- hardly any menus at all....
The OpenGL libraries, or at least _SOME_ 3D libraries are working and
they work extremely well for "tuxracer". -- to within the limits of
Linux's inexhaustable suckeyness....
The card isn't very impressive but then there isn't much that's fully
supported by the flaming kernel.
I am supprised that the work on this 3D stuff stopped years ago, I
thought it was an active area of research.
