+                     DirectX 6 Driver for Mesa 3.0
+
+
+This software is distributed under the terms of the GNU Library
+General Public License, see the LICENSE file for details.
+
+
+
+What do you need ?
+------------------
+
+	- A PC with a DirectX 6 video driver installed.
+
+	- Mesa 3.0
+
+	- The 3Dfx Glide library 2.3 or later for your OS (the 2.4 works fine).
+	  The Voodoo2 requires the Glide library 2.51. The Glide 3.0 is not
+	  compatible with the Glide 2.x so it doesn't work with the current
+	  version of the driver;
+
+	- Visual C++ 5.0 is only compiler test but others should be ok with
+       changes to the makefiles (CFLAGS/LFLAGS).
+
+	- DirectX 6 SDK (was a MS download but not sure if still available).
+
+	- SoftIce or another debugger that will get DPF's is nice.
+
+
+Tested on:
+----------
+	Windows 95
+  	Windows 98
+	Windows NT 5.0 (beta 2)
+
+
+What is able to do ?
+--------------------
+
+	- the driver will try and use DirectX to rasterize the OpenGL primitives
+	that are sent to the driver.  The driver will fall back to SW  if the rendering 
+	context is too big.  The fallback to SW still uses DirectDraw.  If the driver
+	fails to support and operation (accum, stencil, etc) then it will try and get
+	Mesa to render it in SW.  DirectX 6 features that are unsupported by the 
+	installed DirectX 6 driver will be mapped to some other best fit feature.
+
+
+How to compile:
+---------------
+
+	These instructions assume you have Visual C++ installed.
+
+	  You might need to increase you enviroment space.  You can do this by 
+	adding the following statement to you config.sys.
+
+	shell=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /p /e:8198
+
+	  Next setup you compiler enviroment by running vcvars32.bat in the Visual C++
+ 	'bin' directoy.
+
+	c:\DevStudio\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat
+
+	  Modify the D3D makefile to point at your SDK install.  Example has the SDK
+	installed on my 'f' drive in the root.
+
+	file: \Mesa-3.0\src\makefile.d3d
+
+	SDKROOT=f:\mssdk
+
+	  Now you can simply make the project.  If you look in the makefile you can see
+	I have some different targets like 'install'.  
+
+	nmake /f makefile.d3d
+
+
+FAQ:
+----
+
+	1) I don't think the driver is using my DirectX driver.
+
+ 	  This maybe true as the current version will only select the Primary D3D driver
+	installed.  If you 3D card is the secondary (3dfx) then your out of luck for this
+	release.
+
+	2) The driver seems like its not HW accelerated.
+
+	  If you have a video card with limited memory then you might want to try and 
+	change your destop resolution to a low setting (640x480x16) so that the 3D part
+	of the card has more resources.  Remeber the driver can't make the card better...
+
+	3) Nothing works.
+
+	  Make sure you have a DirectX '6' driver installed.  Check you driver docs for this
+	info or use the SDK info utilities.
+	  The final 'dll' is named opengl32.dll and is either in the same directory as the 
+	OpenGL program or in your system directory (x:\windows\system or x:\winnt\system32).
+	  Check your destop resolution.  Most DirectX 6 drivers will only support 16bit and
+	32bit color depth.  To find out for sure you can check the DirectX Info Viewer in
+	the SDK.
+	  
+
+	4) Rendering doesn't look right.
+
+	  Sometimes this is because the card doesn't support a feature that that is required.
+	This is usually due to unsupported alpha functions (test/blend) or texture mapping.
+	Some cards suffer from too small of an alpha channel.  The driver does its best to
+	fallback on unsupported features.  This is not to say the driver may not have a bug(s).
+
+	5) Textures look bad.
+
+	  No mipmapping in this release.
