Hi M.Tompson,
Yes .. I know what you mean all to well.
I tried it by picking Voodoo3 (Generic) 2D in
the mandrake card list. (I could not configure it.
for the reasons mentioned below.)
I also had the problem of the mouse grabbing the
upper right corner on "other" or whatever it is called,
when using XF86Setup.
No matter what I did it would not stop doing it.
Well, I did the best I could, but was unable to
config some options.
Later .. dl'ed the 3d drivers from 3dfx site
and tried to install them but it also failed.
kpackage complaines about the drivers and somewhere
there is text about them not working well with
mandrake 6.1. I've been trying to find the text
again, but have not found it as of yet.
I gave up on it for now, but may go back at it later
on. Just wanted to let you know the XF86Setup/mouse thing is
the same for me.
Card is Voodoo3-2000.
Best!
Mark
