Sorry for what may be a silly question, but I've struggled on and off with getting my 3dfx module to insert correctly. I keep getting unresolved symbols on boot-up. Yes, the device is defined in /dev with ownership/permissions set as suggested in the docs.
I assume that the problem involves its compilation from the package. I've always dl'd the .deb, unzipped it where it lay in /usr/src, and run the script to make the package. This is followed by its installation. Is this wrong?? Should it be unzipped somewhere inside of /usr/src/linux and compiled With the kernel? Does a line for it show up when one uses "make menuconfig?" I don't recall ever seeing errors on compilation. Another thought is whether I should change something in the Makefile which would make it compatible with my Athlon??? (obviously assuming something there would screw that up...)
