Hmm. I just checked my home setup. The version I have, patched with Loki's 
excellent software update tool, is version 1.3e. It seems that 3 renderes
are supported; software, glide and OpenGL;

[madsdyd@mother myth2]$ ./myth2

Software obviously is software
Glide works perfectly with my V2.
OpenGL seems to use the system libraries. I have confirmed that it will 
use Mesa with and without glide support.

I believe that if you have 3D accelerated hardware on your system, and a
libGL.so that supports it, that Myth II should be able to use this
hardware, through the OpenGL renderer. 

I would be interessted in hearing what you find out.

At some point, bits have to go into packets and routers need to make 
decisions on them. Changes at that level is what I want to hear about, not 
strategic company relationships.
