Hi all. I searched dejanews and the debian-user archive but couldn't find anything of use. Of course, my voodoo3 3000 doesn't work, that is, 2D works but 3D doesn't.
I am running potato, used only debs for glide, 3dfx etc. Furthermore I used apt-get to install everything so I assume everything is installed ok (maybe this is where I go wrong) I compiled the 3dfx module, I can insmod it, lsmod indeed says it is installed. When I try test3Dfx I get a black screen, then a blue with the line in the upperrightcorner "press any key to quit" I thought that instead of of a blackscreen I should see the 3Dfx logo. Next I tried the mesademos, compiled a few, but this looks more than "seconds per frame" instead of "frames per second". So, to me it seems the 3D part isn't working. A real problem to me is that I can't find error messages, it all seems to work ok. I have got different resolutions in my XF86Config, all working with 16bpp. (also started X with "startx -- -bpp 16") Another problem is that I can't reach linux.3dfx.com. I don't know if I can find a solution there but for now I can't check. Dirk
