Hi,

BTW: if you are adventerous and if the Mach64 stretch registers are
anything like those iin Rage128 or Radeon, you can check out the latest
patches to either to see how this is done for those ATI cards and try to
implement it yourself if you want to.

A recent post to this mailing list (see the archive for a post whose
subject is "Scaling registers on r128" from Adrian Cox) supplied a patch
to the Rage128 that did exactly this.  You may be able to modify it easily.

Just a thought.
