I've got a Riva TNT card, and I'm using the X server and OpenGL lib from nVidia. Everything's fine in X, but SVGAlib has problems. I upgraded to SVGAlib 1.3.1 from unstable, but still there are issues.
I sometimes run zgv and Maelstrom, but the main reason I want SVGAlib is to try to run GLQuake. The Quake-HOWTO says I need SVGAlib to get there. If I force VGA-only, everything's fine, but the resolutions and colors are, um, limited. If I force NV3 (Riva) mode, I get a blank screen. It still responds to keypresses and I can telnet in, but until I CNTRL-ALT-DEL the screen is hosed. I tried VESA mode this morning and ran Maelstrom. It came up and looked okay, but when I quit, my monitor complained that the signal was out of range: 28.something hsync, 60Hz vsync. Again, no screen until a reboot. Switching VC's does nothing. I have seen claims that SVGAlib will work with a TNT, but I haven't made it happen yet. Anyone have any suggestions?
