Has anyone tried installing the Beta of SciTech's SNAP on Gentoo? I'm reinstalling Gentoo after a long hiatus on Redhat, and am planning on trying it out. Has anyone used it and have any pointers or anything?[/url]

Tried 'em. They work under Gentoo, but it's nothing special. Same performance. A few bugs. No XVideo extension support. Those extra features they are hyping about are nothing really impressive anyway. Quickly returned to regular (and FREE as in free speech) drivers.

Hey did you guys read this Press Release regarding an alternative to XFree86? I am not sure what snap does, i know its one of their products. I was wondering if anyone has tried installing the MGL graphic libs?

SciTech MGL comes with direct support for VGA, VESA VBE and DirectX compatible graphics cards out of the box via the SciTech SNAP Graphics device driver architecture.
