I haven't tried the 4.0 server with my Voodoo card yet - just the Mach64. And unfortunately, I don't quite remember what went on with the config file. As far as I remember, it updated it automatically - but I could be completely wrong here. I'm pretty sure that XF4.0 can't read XF3.3.x config fil

I am not sure how it works with XF86Setup, but basically you have to tell it to use XF86_SVGA (or something like that), if you see the voodoo card on the list, pick it (it might say banshee/voodoo III or something like that), otherwise just pick svga (generic), that should work. there are some sp
