I'm running SuSE 7.1 and during installation my Voodoo 3-2000 card got detected no problem (I've even manage to check the "Use Acceleration" button). However, when I try to play a game that requires 3D Acceleration I can't start the game. The game just complains that my Voodoo drivers can not be opened. I did some investigation and read on some webpage that if you use XFree v4.0+ then you need the DRI drivers for Linux. I went and got the DRI drivers and installed them but I still get the same error message saying that the drivers for my card are not available.
You might want to run 3Ddiag as root and see what it tells you. Sometimes you have to issue a command from the console to start the the 3D. I had to do that for my nVIDIA card. -- Cheers, Jonathan
