Well, I grabbed quake-x11 from potato, and that works fine. I have an old quake CD, and I replaced the relevant files from there, so it's a working Linux quake 1 version. I'll definitely take a look at quakeforge. I have found in the past that while installing Mesa is simple, it wasn't compiled with 3-d accel support. I tried once getting the entire glide + mesa stuff working with my Voodoo 3 and it was hell. I never got it to work. I don't know if potato's version of Mesa is hardware accelerated or if I have to compile from source if I want that. Now, you said that under X 4.0 the tdfx module provides hardware acceleration. Does that mean that I don't have to recompile Mesa? Mike
Re: xfree4.0 and 3d accel
oh, sorry -- i thought you were talking about quake 3. do yourself a favor. don't compile the original quake source. there's a project quakeforge which is a group of people doing a re-write of quake, similar to how prboom and doom legacy are working with the original doom code. if you want to play original quake, quakeforge is the way to go. i'll bet your problem below will disappear with the modernized quakeforge code. pete On Sat 03 Mar 01, 12:15 AM, Michael P.

Re: xfree4.0 and 3d accel
Cool. Are there instructions anywhere on getting Quake working? I'm going through the howto, but I'm missing libraries apparently: [EMAIL PROTECTED] quake]$ ldd quake.x11 libm.so.5 => not found libX11.so.6 => not found libXext.so.6 => not found libc.so.5 => not found I have the first and last by different names so I can fix those with symlinks. I don't have the X11 and Xext modules. They're apparently provided by the xlibg6-dev package, but apt-get won't let me install it. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: xlib6g-dev: Depends: xlib6g (>= 3.3.2.3a-8) but it is not going to be installed which is crap since I have ii xlib6g 4.0.2-1pseudopackage providing X libraries installed.

Re: xfree4.0 and 3d accel
it's automatically set up to use 3D acceleration. pete On Fri 02 Mar 01, 11:27 PM, Michael P. Soulier said: > Hey people.

xfree4.0 and 3d accel
Hey people. I recently installed XFree86 4.0 and am using the tdfx driver for my Voodoo 3. Is it automatically set up to use 3D accel, or do I still have to work to do if I want to play Quake?
