2000-10-03 Thread Pepijn Bruienne
This is another one of those newbie posts, so bear with me. I recently switched from linuxppc to debian on one of my machines (8600/G3 upgraded w/ Voodoo 3 2000 PCI) and it's been a positive experience so far. I am having a lot of trouble getting XF4.01 to correctly run in accelerated mode with t
