You and me are in the same boat buddy,
As far as I can tell xfree86 4.0 has no 3d acceleration for tnt2 only 2d
acceleration. riva's own 3.3.5 drivers give rudimentary 3d features but
no
hardware acceleration either. strangely there are reports on the net of
people
who have got up to 20 fps in quake2 , i personally don't get more that
around 1
fps (if lucky in quake1 :( ) Shaanu and anand singh bisen are supposedly
quake
exports but the fact is they have been able to contribute zilch. I even
contacted
the quake HOWTO maintainers but they are also not into tnt2 .By the way
i have a
tnt2 model 64 and xfree4.0 detects it as a tnt2 ultra m 64 .... hmmm
interesting.
other places you can go for tnt2 discussions are the linux-nvidia list
archives
http://lists.surfsouth.com/archive/linux-nvidia/
So currently we seem to be fscked :(
Anybody got any suggestions ?
cheerio
