I'm just wondering if anyone has built an rpm for 1.4.1 to go into a
redhat 6.1 system. If so, then please let me know where I can get a
copy of them! Many thanks.
We have two powerful (2xPIII550) workstations here with the Voodoo3
3500s in them, and I'd like to be able to upgrade to this beta to
see what svgalib can do for them. (Not to mention the banshee in my
box at home).
These 3dfx cards are awesome beasts. (The 3500s are rated as 2nd
fastest by XiG <www.xig.com>, after the Matrox Millennium G400 MAX.
Heh, I'd *love* to get the TV tuner working with linux:) I've also
seen the RivaTNT (32Mb, glx) cards strut their stuff under linux.
The Quake 3 beta is an impressive example... both cards can perform
easily as good under linux as their windows counterparts. (Well, I
couldn't tell the difference - but they have all been on high-end
boxes with PIII450+ cpus).
Cheers
Tony
