dave, this isn't the reply you wanted, but fwiw, i can't get the 3dfx driver to work for the life of me. i've been at it for a couple of days now. i emailed the packager, steve hasam(sp?) twice, and he hasn't replied at all. not even a "RTFM". (i'll leave my opinion of his maintainer's status unsaid).
i've read a number of people in the same predicament on this list. i'd say 4 or 5 people by now, in the past 2 weeks. one person emailed me and said his driver worked. i emailed him back and got no reply. i also tried using rpm2cpio on the rpms offered on 3dfx's website. they compiled and didn't work either, but i should try that again. if someone here has their voodoo 3 working, a bunch of people would really like to hear from you! pete On Sun, 29 Oct 2000, David Bellows wrote: > Hello all, > > At one point I had my Voodoo 3 working perfectly in Debian, but then I > installed a new SB Live! which is where things went south.
