Re: [newbie] Voodoo3 3500 (Built in TV tuner)
Not exactly the advice you were looking for, but I recommend you never test X during installation for this very reason: if it crashes, you have to re-install from scratch. Just skip the test and continue with the install. Once it's installed, then you can boot and mess with drakxconf. Then if it crashes, you just reboot and try a different configuration. Miark Tim Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] saith: Well the install goes through, then gets to configuring X. It righ away says it can use 4.2.0 with hardware accleration. No problem I think, I go with the default resolution, and the default colors, and then tell it to test it. The install then freezes, and all I see is a black screen that reads this in the upper left hand corner. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

In trying to get #D working well, I noticed this in my XFree86 log: (EE) TDFX(0): DRI requires Voodoo3 or later, disabling DRI. No generic here, it's a 3DFX Voodoo 3 2000. XFdrake and XConfigurator w/ expert both see it as a voodoo 3 2000. Any ideas?

[newbie] Voodoo3 Hardware 3D Accel - Mandrake 7.2
Hey, I'm having the darnest time getting this voodoo3 to work under Mandrake 7.2 with hardware 3D acceleration. It installed XFree86 4.0.1 lsmod shows 3dfx, agpgart, tdfx. (I ran modprobe 3dfx, then tdfx before starting X) 3dfx module shows up as "unused" even when GL is being used.

[newbie] Voodoo3 3500 TV card
Is there anyone using the Voodoo3 3500 TV card successfully on linux?
[newbie] Voodoo3 3000 acceleration works!!
Thanks Eddi Torres and Abe, I gare; finally the Voodoo3 3 has acceleration. I have tryed before to do that using linux.3dfx.com page, but I forced the installation of Glide (the version in this page is older than the present Mandrake 7.2) and then the X system crashed. Chmoulin said me that it could be a problem with the motherboard chip i850e!!! and that I had to wait for new kernels, so I didn't try any other installation. But after read your messages I tryed again; this time I didn't user the Glide reinstallation, I just used: rpm -Uvh tdfx_dri-4.0.1-1.ยก386.rpm rpm --rebuild tdfx_drm-1.0-3.src.rpm rpm -Uvh --force /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/tdfx_drm-1.0-3.i686.rpm The option --force was absolutly necessary. And it works Quake 3, Chromium and so one (quake 3 in fact is too speedee, impossible to survive). It seems that the mandrake 7.2 has a bug about the installtion of 3d acceleration, in fact, one message talked about somekind fo lint between Voodoo3 and AGP (Abe, you were true when you said that 3dfx carss are not real AGP cards, but PCI cards using the advantages of AGP slot. In fact Harddrake said that my voodoo is a PCI card!!! I hope this problem will be solved in future Mandrake releases; in fact most potential home linux user like games using 3d acceleration, this will be a good base to attract people from windoze!!

Hi, I am running Mandrake 7.0 and originally had a SiS 6326 PCI card in when I installed Mandrake. About a month ago I exchanged the card with a Creative Labs VooDoo Banshee. Before I changed cards I downloaded the latest Linux drivers from Creative, untarred them in a temporary directory and then changed then run level from "5" (graphical) to "2" (console) in /etc/initab. I changed the cards, rebooted and Mandrake automatically found the card, deleted all the info about the SiS reconfigured X for the Banshee (albeit using the SVGA server). I then ran the executable supplied from Creative which installed the correct server and updated /etc/X11/Xf86Config. I typed in startx and there I was 32 bit color, 1280X1024.

Re: [newbie] Voodoo3
Have installed Linux Mandrake 6.0 and have gotten Voodoo3 to install, however it defaulted to 320 x 180 resolution and now the KDE login box is bigger than the screen. Has anyone successfully gotten this card to install and then work at 1024 x 768 24bit color?. I am very new to Linux and would appreciate the step by step process that was used. to get the extra resolution, you could try hitting CTRL-ALT-KEYPAD+ on your keyboard. To get the extra colour depth, you'll have to pass an extra parameter to the startx script: startx -- -bpp 24 I'm sure there's a script switch that sets the resolution too but I'm not familiar with it. --- Ian W.

Re: [newbie] Voodoo3
Bit busy at the moment - but do you have the linux mod's (drivers in Windows terms) for the V3. The location to get them from is mentioned on 3DFXs web site under Linux Drivers. You should have 3 RPMs. Put them in their own directory and then do (as root) an 'rpm -Uvh *rpm' After that run (again as root) 'XF86Setup' - you might as well say no to using your existing config as defaults as that's wrong anyway. Although the standard SVGA server 'supports' the V3, you need the custom server mentioned above to get it working properly (ie at a decent resolution/color depth).

Has anyone successfully gotten this card to install and then work at 1024 x 768 24bit color?. I am very new to Linux and would appreciate the step by step process that was used. Thanks, Robert
RE: [newbie] Voodoo3 support
I don't know if you care or not, but Quake 3 runs very well on my voodoo 2, and that is supported quite nicely. jason -Original Message- From: Martin White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 1999 7:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Voodoo3 support - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 1999 12:12 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Voodoo3 support Buy a TNT2 Ultra instead...it is alot better.

[newbie] Voodoo3 support
Before i go and buy one, does anyone know if the new 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 AGP video card is supported under Linux (XFree86 in particular) ?? My decision on going for this card is based on Win98 gaming so i gues i'll buy one anyway, but it would be nice if i don't need to trash my Linux system too (especially as the SBLive drivers are now out). Martin.
Re: [newbie] Voodoo3 support
Why would you get a Voodoo3 card just for the emulator? Anyway, right now I am running a TNT and it works just as good as with the voodoo2 with the gl2ideC wrapper. But with normal games, the TNT2 is much better than the V3. The V3 is more like a Banshee2 with no 32 bit color support and no REAL AGP texturing support.
Re: AW: [newbie] Voodoo3 support
It sure is. Right now I am running a TNT and it works great with the SVGA server. When Xfree86 version 4 comes out, the TNT and TNT2 are supposed to have full 3D acceleration also.
