 In order to configure a graphic card under Debian 1.3.1 it doesn't appear in
 the drivers 
 installation list. 
 These are my technical specifications : 
   Manufacturer : California Graphics 
   Model   : 3D  Emotion 
  Chipset  : Hawk Real 3 D 
   Graphic chipset : 3Dfx Voodoo Rush 
  Accelerator : Alliance Semiconductor's 128-bit ProMotion AT25 PC 
  RAMDAC : 190 Mhz 
 
 Where can I find a driver for this card ? 
 Thank you in advance

I too have a card with the Voodoo Rush chipset, an Intergraph Intense 3D
Voodoo.  The Xserver/driver that you want is in the latest XF86_SVGA
server, i.e. in XF86 3.3.2.  I'm not sure if that is available as a bo set
of packages.  If it isn't just download the Linux_ix86 XF86-3.3.2 binaries
(not the glibc ones) from any XF86 mirror.  The glibc XF86 binaries are
for Linux libc6/glibc2, not Linux libc5 which is what is normally found on
bo systems (Debian 1.3.1) such as yours.

By the way, IIRC the 3Dfx Glide libraries have also been ported to Linux!
Have fun!  :)

You do recall correctly, but there are only Linux drivers for the
Voodoo Graphics chips so I think you're both out of luck.

Are you sure about that?  I believe that I read about someone porting the
Glide 2.43 library to Linux, which does include Rush support (IIRC :)).
This was a while ago, so I could be wrong again :-).

There is a driver for AT25-based cards in the newest XFree86 3.3.2
SVGA server.  If you are running bo, then upgrading to hamm will let
you use this card.
