problem with voodoo 3 and multiple X servers
I don't use multiple X servers too often but I think that since X 4.x there are some problems when running multiple X servers on same machine (voodoo 3 card). I have dri enabled, it works ok. as long as I run only one instance of X it works without any problems. the problem as manifested now is: I am running one X server (0) fvwm, it works without problems. I started another X server (1), runing kde and openoffice (started using startx from virtual console). from time to time it almost stops reacting, it doesn't update screen properly, only fonts are redrawn, the rest of the screen seems to be frozen (the effect is that the screen gets overwritten by text that seems to be slightly relevant to what should be going on, e.g. when I go to menu and this happens the menu is not updated anymore but near menu the menu item labels are redrawn (text only)). when I switch to another vt and back it works ok, for some time. it seems like everytime this happens the following message is printed on the console where X was started from: Resetting FIFO googling revealed that some people had the same message printed when using xinerama, didn't find any resolution for that but not sure it's rlated. I also foound somewhat similar debian bug 164303, that one was closed because submitter said he found out that it's a hw problem... any ideas on what's going on or how to troubleshoot? system: debian unstable kernel 2.4.18 (with tdfx) ii xserver-xfree8 4.2.1-4 00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc.

Hi, ich hab ne Voodoo 3 (2000?) PCI und bekomme das DRI nicht zum laufen.

Olá. Bem, vamos ver se resolvemos. O link para a olinux é http://olinux.uol.com.br/artigos/268/1.html . Como você esta utilizando o woody, a versão do xfree é 4.1.0-16 e não é necessário o drive 3dfx para funcionar a placa com 3d, pois o xfree já tem o módulo próprio. Vamos lá, faça: apt-get install xserver-xfree86 Se já estiver instalado faça: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. Escolha o módulo tdfx e coloque e siga as instruções. Eu acho melhor utilizar o kernel 2.4 (que eu utilizo) abilitado o módulo agp no kernel. Instale também o xlibmesa3 para suporte a 3d. Se ainda tiver alguma dúvida ou não funcionar e-mail-me. Abraço.

Hola, mi problema es que antes tenia una tarjeta grafica ATI y con el x-server Mach64 me iban perfectamente las X. Ahora he puesto una Voodoo 3, y la cosa va mas lenta, cuando tendria que ser al reves. Como no encontre ningun servidor especifico para Voodoo, utilizo el x-server generico.

Q3 Horrific Lag on VooDoo 3 [ PLEASE HELP!! ]
Hi, sorry for the extreme subject. Not sure if my last message got through. I installed Quake 3's linux demo, mesag3-glide2, but when I run it, it runs at 1fps! I have seen 2 other people online with this problem, but no one had a solution. The best thing I heard was it can't find libGL.so so it's using MESA software rendering. It's right there in the directory with it, though! I installed the 3dfx device too, from the sources .deb available on Packages.debian.org, no help .. The game works fully, but from the moment I run it to the moment I quit it's unbelievably slow. I have a Duron 880mhz with 196mb RAM, VooDoo 3, 2.4.5 kernel, and XFree86 (dunno what version, whatever comes standard with 2.2.19pre17 Debian ISO image-made discs). Can someone please help me?

Re: Voodoo 3 no potato
Oi, Como instalar a placa aceleradora Voodoo 3 no debian 2.2 (potato)? A versão do X11 do potato tem suporte para ela? Apesar de náo possuir uma paca dessas, creio que não terá problemas em fazê-la funcionar. O Potato 2.2r3 (úlitma versão considerada estável) traz o XFree86-3.3.6. Retirado de http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status2.html#2 : 2. 3Dfx 3.3.6: Support (including acceleration) for Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3 cards is provided by the XF86_SVGA server with the tdfx driver. 4.1.0: Support for Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo 2 chips is available on platforms where Glide is available (Linux and FreeBSD(?)) and is provided by the glide driver (requires version 2.x of the Glide library, which is not part of the XFree86 distribution). Support (including acceleration) for Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3, Voodoo4, and Voodoo5 is provided by the tdfx driver. Summary: All hardware supported in 3.3.6 is also supported in 4.1.0. É sempre bom dar uma olhada no site oficial do XFree86 para saber se sua placa de vídeo é suportada ou não, independente da distribuição que esteja usando. -- André Luís Lopes Debian GNU/Linux andrelop at ig dot com dot br

Re: Voodoo 3 no potato
Acho que você tem que ter a versão 4.0 ou maior do Xfree para utilizar suporte 3D da voodoo 3. Acho que vai se preciso fazer um upgrade de seu sistema para funcionar corretamente.

Re: My voodoo 3...
I *haven't* created the tdfx device file (/dev/cards/tdfx?), because i
can't remember how to (or even what the name of the file is). I
searched on google, without luck.
It's /dev/3dfx, and you don't create it manually. Get the device3dfx-source
package. Build the deb from that (make-kpkg, it's in the README), and when you
install the deb, it'll load the module and create the dev entry.
Have fun!

Re: help with voodoo 3
If you're using woody, you're not going to get DRI to work until libglide3 gets moved into testing from sid. Glide3 is a necessary component of acceleration in X4.

dear all, i'm having the hardest time getting my voodoo 3 to work correctly. i'm running woody with X 4.0. i can run gears, and resize the window without a noticeable change in framerate, so SOMETHING has to be going right. however, whenever i try to play quake3 or unreal tournament, i get a frame rate which looks like 2 frames per second. it's awful. one thing that i notice. when i look at the output of startx, i notice the following lines: (WW) TDFX(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0x4200,0x200) (II) TDFX(0): Textures Memory 7.93 MB (II) TDFX(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) ...

Good question...I got this from http://www.linuxgames.com. It was the latest article I found about 3dfx and XF4. It's dated Friday Aug 18 23:26:06 2000. ---START--- There are new XFree86 4.0.1 X Server/Mesa prereleases for the Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3, Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 available. These drivers should be used in conjunction with XFree86 4.0 and Glide 3 with DRI support (provided). These are the drivers that were used in the demonstrations at 3dfx's Linux World Expo booth. They ran games such as Quake3, Unreal Tournament (with OpenGL renderer), Soldier of Fortune and others. Note these drivers will still not work with, Myth2, Quake2 or other Glide and Mesa2x based applications but, the the DGA mouse bug been has been fixed. Also note, these drivers are still in early development. At this time only a single chip on the board is supported, that means that the board will not run at its full speed potential, nor are Full Scene Antialiasing (FSAA) and T-Buffer Cinematic effects available. As development continues these features will be implemented in the drivers. ---END--- Anyone know if they've been updated since??? Scott

Even the unaccelerated performance on my machine is acceptable for, say, the GL-based xscreensaver modules. Actually, you can grab a source RPM of the necessary kernel modules for 2.2 kernels at linux.3dfx.com, which can be built easily with rpm --rebuild and then you can debianize them with alien and dpkg -i. They seem to work for me--at least, I get (II) TDFX(0): direct rendering enabled when I start X, anyway. It should be noted that the older 3dfx module does not work with the 2.4 prerelease kernels. And, speaking of the older stuff, I would really, _really_ like to know how I can get the older Glide stuff working in Woody! Using the 3dfx module and Glide in X 4.0.1 results in X _locking up_. But I can't downgrade to X 3.3.6. I can't run XF86Setup for 3.3.6 because it requires xserver-vga16 which no longer even exists in Woody. xf86config doesn't have Voodoo drivers listed, and I noticed that the xserver-svga package states: Note: only hardware not supported by the XFree86 version 4.x X server (in the xserver-xfree86 package) is supported by this package. I _can_ config it with anXious, and it will load, but the mouse pointer is all messed up. Can someone help me? How can I use X 3.3.6 in Woody? Or how can I use 3dfx module + Glide in X 4.0.1 without it locking up if that's possible?

Re: Voodoo 3 2000
I haven't tried the 4.0 server with my Voodoo card yet - just the Mach64. And unfortunately, I don't quite remember what went on with the config file. As far as I remember, it updated it automatically - but I could be completely wrong here. I'm pretty sure that XF4.0 can't read XF3.3.x config files. The thing that I remember is that XF4.0 expects the config file in /etc/XF86Config (as opposed to /etc/X11/XF86Config) and the installation of XF4.0 didn't move it over automatically. If I were you and wanted to try 4.0, I would definitely make a backup. I haven't had any troubles with my current installation, but some people obviously couldn't get it to work at all and had to revert to 3.3.x.

Voodoo 3 2000
Hi! I am trying to get a Voodoo 3 2000 to run under Debian 2.2 - with the added bonus that this instance would have to run on a 300Mhz AMD K6. Is there a way to do it or should I just return the card? Thanks in advance, Juergen

Re: Voodoo 3 2000
I am not sure how it works with XF86Setup, but basically you have to tell it to use XF86_SVGA (or something like that), if you see the voodoo card on the list, pick it (it might say banshee/voodoo III or something like that), otherwise just pick svga (generic), that should work. there are some special servers for other cards (e.g. XF86_S3 for S3 based cards) but voodoo (and some other cards) is handled by svga server (not sure why). so you won't find XF86_3dfx of anything like that. once you have configured the X, check if it recognizes the card as 3dfx card (the output of X on the console where you run startx), if you use xdm you can find output of X somewhere, I forgot where, but you can always start another server: startx -- :1 startx.log # for csh and derivatives) startx -- :1 startx.log 21 # for sh and derivatives (including bash) then view startx.log and look for the chip name, the X server would be probably on ctrl-alt-F8 (the first one is usually on ctrl-alt-F7) hope this helps erik Juergen Fiedler wrote: I meant to ask whether I have to select a specific card during the initial Debian install - if I want to set up X right from the start.

(i'm pretty new to debian). then run dselect, choose update, let it work, choose select, uninstall xfree86-common-3.3.6 and reinstall xfree86-common-4.0. i assume this will take care of the dependencies itself... right? :) i really appreciate this! pete On Wed, 18 Oct 2000, Evan Van Dyke wrote: Peter Jay Salzman wrote: dear all, when i try to run test3Dfx on my dual celery550 (debian 2.2, kernel 2.4.0-test9), it reports: 1) run it as root, does it work?

Voodoo 3 3000 (new)
Hey, I continue to make progress with the curse-ed setup of this blasted video card (Voodoo 3 3000 AGP), but I can't seem to ever quite get it to work. I have installed device3dfx-source, mesag2-v3, and mesa-glide2-dev. I compiled the 3dfx module successfully, and can install it with no problems. The permissions are set correctly on my /dev/3dfx, yet I can't get 'test3Dfx' to work. I've been trying to run it in X (because if I run it in a terminal, it can't access the v3 board), but when I try the test, xterm just locks up. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, which is quite frustrating. Please, if you now of anything I could do, would you email me? thanks, Cameron Matheson
