I just installed a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 16MB on my P200 (yep good ol' PCI)
I have a dual boot Windoze98 and Caldera Open Linux 2.2
I have the voodoo installed no problem on Win98, but when I boot up into
Linux it says it's going into run level 3, sending process term signal
And then just hangs there.
(I initially installed Linux with my old card, a matrox mystique)
To get out of it I can just hit ctrl+alt+del and it shuts down properly, but
other than that Linux says hell with it I quit lol
Is there a way to boot into Linux with the standard X Server, and bypass the
matrox settings?
Also I got the drivers from 3dfx and they have fairly decent instructions on
the process of updating Glide, installing the drivers etc. But all the
installations are done with RPM's.
Would there be any difference in installing the RPM's in Caldera, versus Red
Hat?
ie. it says to do:
"rpm -Uvh Glide_V3-2.60-8.i386.rpm"
would there be any differences?
Also it states a directory in one of the commands...
"rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/Device3Dfx-2.3-1.i386.rpm"
Well if I'm not running Redhat I'm assuming that directory won't exist...
But also would I be right in assuming since it's calling for it's own file
in that directory that it may create it?
Sorry for sounding like a moron, I'm fairly competent when it comes to
computers in general, but am still learning Linux so be gentle!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Oh also if there's any known issues with this driver let me know, if
anything I can just put in my old card *shudder* and disable it in windows
and just keep using it for Linux.
Thank you much,
Mike Barnes

St. Peter: Well, you've got a choice. Have a look around here. Pop
down to Hell and see what Satan has to offer. Check us out and then
let me know your decision.
Bill has a look around heaven. Lots of somber people singing hymns,
praising the Lord. He goes down to Hell. There he sees beautiful
beaches, lots of sun, sand and attractive women. Long cool drinks that
never get you drunk. He loves it. He goes back to St. Peter.
Gates: Look, I know you're really doing good things here, but Hell
seems more with it. More my kind of scene, you know what I mean? No
hard feelings, but I pick Hell.
St. Peter: No worries. You've got it.
Bill finds himself back in Hell, neck deep in fire and brimstone,
suffering eternal torment. He can't figure it out.
Gates: Hey! St. Peter! Where are the beautiful girls and long
beaches and cool drinks?
St. Peter: Sorry if you got confused, That was just the demo version.
