Under the current 3dfx /monster3d2 driver, you can only do multi-pass
multi-texturing in D3D. the latest driver from diamond is the same as the
3dfx reference driver [which is released in 7/20]. They are DX5 driver only.

maybe we need to wait one more month to get the 3dfx DX6 driver, which can
do single pass duel-texturing and [hopefully] triple-buffering in d3d.

dont know about the plan for w-buffer, tho.
