i have been tryin to get this wroking for 2 hours now, and still cant. i went to www.3dfxgamers.com and grabbed the latest kernel module, and mesa driver, and XF86_3DFX driver for XF86 3.3.5 instaleld them all and it went ok as far as i could tell..manually compiling stuff from source rpms is a bitch (anyone have debs for this?) looks like all their binaries are glibc2.1 based.
after removing all my TNT 3d drivers i fired up quake3 and I can either get a picture with it going very slow(say ~.5fps) which indicates to me no hardware rendering is going on, or I can hear it go smooth(no sound skipping) but no picture _at all_ the window is black. I am running in 16bit color, and tried it in multiple resolutions, fullscreen mode does not work either, it tries to switch then ends up back in window'd mode. as far as quake3 is concerned it appears to load the driver without a problem: ----- R_Init ----- ...loading libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.3: Initializing OpenGL display ...setting mode 2: 512 384 Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 0.8 XF86DGA Mouse (Version 1.1) initialized XFree86-VidModeExtension: Ignored on non-fullscreen/Voodoo Using 4/4/4 Color bits, 16 depth, 0 stencil display.

I bought this card specifically to play quake3 faster and would like to get it working..geting quake3 working on my TNT took 15 minutes i cant imagine why this would cause so much trouble! thanks ,, nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 2:49am up 113 days, 14:34, 2 users, load average: 1.60, 1.50, 1.46
