You'll then investigate why it is disabled. By the way, if you own a PCI Voodoo card, we have a bug with that in the 7.2. > Also, what color depth are you using?

That's true, you need to be in 16 bits (that's what the installer should have decided for you) (if you didn't override that). -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
Re: [Cooker] Voodoo 4500
Hi Jamie, go here - http://dri.sourceforge.net/DRIintro.html all your prayers/questions will be answered... btw, very recent 2.4 kernels don't work with X4.0.1 because they have different versions of the dri so use (2.2 kernel + X4) or (2.4 kernel + X3) i think, big disclaimer, i'm no expert but i have been fooling around with this recently. regards, Anthony On Monday 18 December 2000 10:29 am, Jamie Dainton wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hello cooker, > > I've been trying to get my Voodoo 4500 to work in accelerated mode > with Xfree86 4.01 Accelerated.

Do you have the 3dFX device installed? What does XFree86 say when it loads? Sounds like something is not connecting properly for the X server acceleration. Also, what color depth are you using? Try 16 bit and see if that makes a difference. I seem to remember that not all of the modes are accelerated with the 3dFX cards.
