[SuSE Linux] 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee
As far as I know, it is not possible to install a 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee video card on SuSE 6.0. Correct ? However, is it possible to install this video card with *reduced* features, like a standard SVGA or something, and be able to use KDE anyway ? If yes, what should I do, knowing that my card (Dragon 4000, from Gainward) is not listed in SaX. Thanks for your answer, I'm getting very confused with those matters.

Wrong. Just get the RPM from our ftp-Server: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/X/XFCom/xbanshee/glibc2/xbanshee.rpm"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/X/XFCom/xbanshee/glibc2/xbanshee.rpm</A">ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/X/XFCom/xbanshee/glibc2/xbanshee.rpm</A</A>>

Using this RPM, you need to "fool" sax or xf86config. If you are using sax, use "generic server selection" and select SVGA. Make sure, that you create the following symbolic link first: ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Banshee /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA You should now be able to configure the card as usual. However, the server is not accelerated yet! Also read /usr/doc/packages/xbanshee/README for further info.

No, you _can_ install a Banshee card into SuSE 6.0, if you couldn't I wouldn't be able to see this mail right now ;-)

There is a SuSE RPM that can be downloaded from SuSE's web site, also you can visit <A HREF="http://glide.xxedgexx.com"><A HREF="http://glide.xxedgexx.com</A">http://glide.xxedgexx.com</A</A>> from where you can get more information and the latest )non-SuSE) copy of the server. to set up the SuSE RPM just follow the instructions at <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/mkraft_banshee.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/mkraft_banshee.html</A">http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/mkraft_banshee.html</A</A>> Hope thie helps. -- Have Fun, G'leth Jim McBoyle Gleth@white-star.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
