32-bit compatible drivers

lazE · 02-16-04, 04:48 PM

Hey,

I wanted to know if any of the mods here could comment on when we might see drivers for the x86_64 architecture that support 32bit OpenGL calls. I realize it's bad for a software company to commit to a deadline but, even an approximation such as "first half of 2004" is better than nothing.

The reason I ask is that I'm thinking about moving over to a 32bit Gentoo install. The perks of running on a 64bit OS are nice but other than the 20 or so hours I spend a week developing, I use my machine to play games.

Thanks.
