Re: XFree86 4.01
Hi Ian, what does "X -configure" does on your machine ? That should work, also you can use a sample config like the ones supplioed by dri.sourceforge.net on the ressources page. http://dri.sourceforge.net/resources/XF86Config.voodoo3 Hope that helps. Greetings Michael Meding

XF86Setup is the xf86 3.3.x version i guess, so that will not list all 4.0.1 cards and will not write the correct config file, unless it's a specific xf4 version -- ,---. > Name: Alson van der Meulen < > Personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > School: [EMAIL PROTECTED]< `---' what's this hash prompt on my terminal mean? -
XFree86 4.01
I am running Debian 2.2, with kernel 2.4 test10. I have downloaded and installed the glibc21 binaires of 4.0.1, I run XF86Setup and find that there is no Voodoo 3 option in the cards list. The XFree86 site days the card is supported but I can't find it. Can anyone help? Ian.

You never compiled kernel 0.9X on a 386x16SX with 4 megs of ram I take it? Robert :wq! --- Robert L.

Re: xfree86 4.01
It will happen eventuall. I got the binaries and installed em straight up. They work great. Backup (rar) /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 first. If you hose it real bad, just recover them from the rar and you're back where you started.

Compiling from source was a breeze. And you won't screw up your own X if you tell X 4.0.1 to install itself to something like /usr/local/X11R6 or something like that. Read the directions included with the distribution and you should be all set. Just make sure you've got plenty of free time to wait while X builds. I think it's the longest build I've ever experienced.

The deb packages for xfree4 dont seem to be out yet...will it happen do you guys think? Im wondering if I should compile from source...I really want to get q3 running well and have been told 4.01 is wonderfull with the tnt2 card I have. 1) Has anyone had any luck compiling from source? 2) What things to check for before installing? e.g. anything special that I need before starting the process? Thanks for your input guysIm scared to break X if I screw something up. -E
