Hi again,
I followed Michel's advice and installed nearly flawlessly the XFree 4.0.1
phase2 .debs (it was v7 at the time I tried it).
The only glitche I encountered in the installation was the it didn't
de-install xserver-fbdev_3.3.6 and didn't install xserver-xfree86_4.0.1_0pha
se2v7. But that was simple to correct once detected.
As for the software itself, if it works better than my first experience
with 4.0.1 it still doesn't work properly:
- the powermac 7600/132 /chaos/control graphic device is correctly
detected and the amount of vram is correctly guessed too.
- XFree86 -configure fail: error 11 while testing the different
drivers.
- the X server display is buggy: the display is wrapped around the
screen so that each extremity touch in the center of the screen.
But the xserver doesn't echo any errors whatsoever.

what it usually what i get
look like
So for the time being I reverted to XFree 3.3.6 framebuffer server, but I'll
try to see how XFree 4.0.1 works under the 3dfx with the mac roms.
Attached is my XF86Config for XFree 4.0.1
