Not for the upcoming distro release. Perhaps in the release after that though. Many of the demos did not work, and I received lots of bug reports about them. They're ultra-low priority, and when I switched over to the Mesa included with XFree86, they no longer existed. I believe they may be buried somewhere in XFree86 sources but out of reach of Imake. I'd rather not ship them at all than ship them broken and receive bug reports. And I'd rather ship them working fully than not ship them. So when I do get time to investigate this, I may decide to either put them as an X subpackage, or as a separate package. No promises other than that I will try to get around to it. It's nice to have some demo apps to test 3D out with. Take care, TTYL -- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
