Hello everyone I'm having some problems getting my Voodoo3 card to work in XFree86, version 4.0.2 (the one that is installed with 7.1). I'm using a fresh install so I haven't had the chance to mess anything up yet (at least I don¹t think I have ;). Anyway, here's my current setup (at the things I think are important in the matter): - Beige g3@266Mhz - Built-in ATI Rage Pro video card, based on the Mach64 chipset. (not used at all) - Voodoo 3 3000 PCI (16mb video memory) used as the primary card When I installed SuSE I picked the 2.2.18 from the list of kernels, the one with 3dfx support. I also picked the "tdfx" driver when I configured X using SaX2, yet when I try to start X with "startx", it fails, with the following errors recorded in my X86Free log-file: http://www.student.hig.se/~nd00ndn/XFree86_0.log And here's a copy of my X86Config file: http://www.student.hig.se/~nd00ndn/XF86Config.current I'm not sure if what info I should link to, other then this, so I hope its enough to solve the problem :/ I would really appreciate it if someone here, who has knowledge of this could help me out, since I'm dying to get my Voodoo3 to work... Thanks in advance /Niclas Davidsson

It should be possible to use a Voodoo3 on Macs with PCI graphics. Does it appear as tdfxfb in /proc/fb or as OFfb? You can also use 2.4.2, it has tdfx support. If you really have tdfxfb run "sax2 -af", that will create a generic config file. Remove the second 'Section "Device"' and configure the remaining 'Section "Device"' to point to your tdfx card. I think you have to specify 'Option "usefbdev"' with the tdfx driver. Make sure your ServerLayout uses the correct identifiers. xinerama will not work with framebuffer. Good luck.
