I have a new 3dfx Voodo3 3000 and it works well with SVGA-3.3.6 -
except that at shutdown, just before poweroff should happen, it goes
into a loop putting textlines on the display and must be stopped by a
4 second hold-down of the power button, ie power off.  The linux part
of the shutdown is all done, so there are no problems coming up
again.It really looks bad, though.

Hello,

I have a Rage 128 Mobility Pro card. I also have an oustanding observation
report logged with Justin Young as follows :

I haven't got back to Justin yet because I wanted to upgrade to the latest
XFree86 4.0. I noticed this problem first on XFree86 3.3.5-15 using the
XFree86-Mach64 server. I still use this server with XFree86 4.0, because kde
has great trouble working with 4.0-3mdk, I haven't tried -4mdk yet. However the
problem exists in 4.0-3mdk.

I have never managed to get the Rage128 to work at all, and couldn't persuade X
to work with the SVGA server and the Rage card except in the lowest possible
modes (640 x 480, 8bpp etc). As far as I am concerned these servers can
disappear !

does anyone here got a rage128 or 3dfx?

is it working properly with the latest XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6 or are you using the
XFree86-Rage128 / XFree86-3dfx package?


got one here and it works quite nicely... the purpose is to remove the unneeded(?)
XFree86-Rage128 / XFree86-3dfx packages.
