1)Is it possible to use NxOgre on Linux? Browsing the SVN, I just found a Visual Studio Solution.

2) PhysX should be able to use hardware acceleration, ie special Ageia PhysX cards. Is NxOgre able to do so too?

1. People do use NxOgre in Linux but they usually set it up themselves. I don't have a Linux desktop machine so I cannot provide any support, testing or specfic IDE projects.

2. There is no specific interface to setup hardware scenes in NxOgre, but it's beyond easy to make a scene a hardware one - it's just flipping a flag. It just haven't written any code to extend it.

I just thought there might be problems because the FAQ says Linux support is "less than stellar".

Ok, thank you.

I'm going to try it right now ^^

Edit: Hm, it seems like I can't get it up and running. I guess I have to use OgreNewt then.
