There's some .rpm's and instructions at the above link. I believe
they're also on the Mandrake CD (the rpm's, not the instructions).
Someone mentioned that there's support in XFree 3 3 5 vga server
for 3dfx. I tried that (the 6.1 3dfx rpm's), and it didn't work
for me. I used the rpm's off the Mdk CD. I used the rpm's from the
link above a coupl'a months ago when I was runnin Phat (a dos Linux
version of Mandrake 6.0). I've since switched to the 'real' deal.
I didn't try to get 3D goin Patrick, 'cause in Linux I don't use
it. I built this system just to fly airplanes, and I don't figure
M$'s gonna port their flight simulators to Linux anytime too soon,
so I still switch over to W98 for that. The V3, clk'd to 178, with
my PII 467, 128mb ram@133mhz gets well over 100 fps in FS98 :)
