-------
The following environment variables affect MesaFX. Those that affect Glide
only, are beyond the scope of this file. Entries that don't have a "Value"
field, can have any value whatsoever
ex: set MESA_FX_IGNORE_CMBEXT=y
"Note" (*) means that the environment variable affects Glide, too; also, if
the var is not found in the environment, it is searched in windoze registry.
"Note" (!) means that the environment variable is not working as expected;
may have undefined effects, might have effects only at Glide level or might
not have any effect whatsoever. Caveat emptor! Those are to be revised soon.
It is recommended to leave the envvars alone, so that Mesa/Glide will run with
default values. Use them only when you experience crashes or strange behavior.

If you haven't, sorry; everything is done in software. Suggestions?
Q) I tried to set refresh rate w/ DMesa, but without success.
A) Refresh rate control works only for VESA 3.0. If you were compiling for
Glide, see Glide info. If not, sorry!
A) Refresh rate control works only for VESA 3.0 and the 3dfx driver (in
which case FX_GLIDE_REFRESH will be overwritten if it is defined and
is not 0).
Q) I made a simple application and it does nothing. It exits right away. Not
even a blank screen.
