Well, at least, they don't say anywhere that the FireGL 8800 *doesn't*=20
work, so I'll give it a try. :-) The Win9x and Summit drivers may be=20
deliberately cripled or something, to crash or refuse to load unless they=

find one of the "gaming versions".

I'd be interested in knowing why GL_LINE + GL_FILL is used this way in=20
the first place. (I'd prefer fixing things the right way, if possible.)=20

Any problem with always using the same mode for both faces? Could have=20
missed something, but it seems that whenever front and back face modes=20
are different, one face is culled anyway, so it shouldn't matter to any=20
card.
