Q.F19- Is a server for the Voodoo Banshee or other 3Dfx chips available?
Boards based on Voodoo Banshee (or any other 3Dfx chips) are not
supported in XFree86, as programming documentation is not available. We
are working with 3dfx on a solution to solve this problem but haven't
been successful, yet.
Currently work has started on a server with documents that were given
under NDA, no schedule for a release of such a server is known, though.
Q.F20- Is there any other way I can get an unsupported card to work?
Well, there is. If you are running Linux and the card is VBE-2.0
compliant in hardware. Unfortunately even today many new cards are not.
But if yours is, then you can setup
a late version of the Linux kernel (anything newer than 2.1.119 should
do) with vesafb and use the XF86_FBDev server with it. Anthony D'Amico
has a nice introduction
how to do this at http://www.uno.edu/~adamico/banshee/, where he
describes how to get the Banshee to work. Note that the section there
about installing the XF68_FBDev
X server can be omitted. Instead use the XF86_FBDev that is provided as
part of XFree86 3.3.3.1. This works in a very similar way for other
VBE-2.0 compliant cards as
well.
