I upgraded a machine at work to Woody. No problem at the start, gdm runs fine, but both KDE and Gnome (Debian) crash on startup. I also recompiled the kernel to 2.4.18 and installed DRI and agppart, but not improvement. It looks like XFree86 probes the card ok:
---cut---- (II) Bus -1 non-prefetchable memory range: (II) Bus -1 prefetchable memory range: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) 3dfx Interactive Voodoo3 rev 1, Mem @ 0xde000000/25, 0xe2000000/25, I/O @ 0xd800/8, BIOS @ 0xe1ff0000/16 (II) Addressable bus resource ranges are [0] -1 0 0x00000000 - 0xffffffff (0x0) MX[B] [1] -1 0 0x00000000 - 0x0000ffff (0x10000) IX[B] but then it doesn't work in the end. ----cut----- (II) TDFX: Driver for 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3 chipsets: 3dfx Banshee, 3dfx Voodoo3, 3dfx Voodoo5 (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0 (WW) TDFX: Chipset "Voodoo3" in Device section "Card0" isn't valid for this driver (EE) No devices detected. Should I call it something else from Card0 when I use xf86cfg????Does it matter that it is agp, and is on bus 1, rather than pci on bus 0???? Or is this some other problem? The card is listed in /proc/pci I don't really need 3d graphics at work,anyway if that's a problem. I do need to get it back to running gnome, though. If anyone has a suggestion, I thank you in advance. -Glen
