Re: 3D Acceleration in 24 Bit color

The problem is the "AGL_PIXEL_SIZE, 16". Rage 128 Pro uses 32-bits
internally. I gather if you ask for a 16-bit buffer, it's unable to
accommodate it. Simply leave out the AGL_PIXEL_SIZE specifier and all
should be well.

On the other hand, I'm at a loss why the ATI card DOES accelerate an
AGL_PIXEL_SIZE 16 context with the monitor set to 16-bit. (I just tried
it myself and it works for me too.) Perhaps in that case it know enough
to ignore the pixel-size specifier, since it will downsample to 16-bits
later anyways. Comments, ATI?
