[newbie] I cant configure my 3dfx card
I have a voodoo 5 5500, pentium II 266, 128mb ram, with mandrake 7.0. When I installed Red Hat 7.0 it automatically detected my voodoo 5 5500 but a friend told me that mandrake 7.0 was better then I installed mandrake 7.0 but it didn't detect my 3dfx card. What should I do?

For Mandrake 7.0 you'll have to download the drivers for it. Mandrake 7.2 has voodoo5 built in support. --- Original Message --- Mauricio Castro [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wrote on Mon, 13 Nov 2000 12:42:04 -0300 -- I have a voodoo 5 5500, pentium II 266, 128mb ram, with mandrake 7.0.

Arguably in your case Red Hat appears to be "better"...

What should I do? Red Hat 7.0 is the contemporary of Mandrake 7.2, not 7.0 7.1 detected and automatically installed my Voodoo. -- Mandrakesoft Inc[EMAIL PROTECTED] Paris, France
Re: [newbie] I cant configure my 3dfx card
get version 7.2 of mandrake which will automatically detect and configure your V5. Mandrake 7.0 will not detect the V5 because it uses x 3.3.6 and you need x 4.01.
