Bit busy at the moment - but do you have the linux mod's (drivers in Windows
terms) for the V3. The location to get them from is mentioned on 3DFXs web
site under Linux Drivers.
You should have 3 RPMs. Put them in their own directory and then do (as
root) an 'rpm -Uvh *rpm'
After that run (again as root) 'XF86Setup' - you might as well say no to
using your existing config as defaults as that's wrong anyway.
Although the standard SVGA server 'supports' the V3, you need the custom
server mentioned above to get it working properly (ie at a decent
resolution/color depth).

Hi,
Have installed Linux Mandrake 6.0 and have gotten Voodoo3 to install,
however it defaulted to 320 x 180 resolution and now the KDE login box is
bigger than the screen. Has anyone successfully gotten this card to install
and then work at 1024 x 768 24bit color?. I am very new to Linux and would
appreciate the step by step process that was used.
Thanks,
Robert
