With XFree86 3.3.6 i used the 3dfx device, and i remeber quite faster than the actual XFree86 4.0.3 3dfx DRI implementation, correct me if i'm wrong, in the latter case, OpenGL works as an additional software layer, based upon glide-dri... I think i've read somewhere it's still possible to use the 3dfx device with XFree86 4, but can't remember where, so if someone can point me in the right direction... Andrea

I've pretty much followed the docs on DRI and X site about setting up the Voodoo3 card. Points of note: 1. You need either the kernel tdfx module, or DRI one. 2. DRI ONLY works in 16bpp, not 24bpp (took me a while to get that one). 3. I use xlibmesa3 and xlibosmesa3 libs. HTH, Andrei -- First there was Explorer... Then came Expedition.

From what I remember, you can get dri from both kernel source AND dri.sourceforge.net Advantage of kernel being that it's compiled with the kernel together, you can compile it straight into the kernel, and X wont know the difference. Advantage of dri.sourceforge.net being that you get the latest DRI version. But the way it works is that X will have to load dri module when it starts up. But it doesnt matter where it's loaded from: whether it's already in the kernel, or it's in hte X modules, it'll work the same. Andrei -- First there was Explorer... Then came Expedition.
