You won't be using Glide itself, but OpenGL (which links the glide
library through the tdfx_drm.so module). Once you've installed libglide3,
put the whole concept of Glide as an application-level in

It looks like you may need to add a line that says 'Load "dri"' in your
Module section. Otherwise the X server itself doesn't know about DRI, or
the setup for it or anything else.

'man XF86Config' is your friend. Look for info on the

At present, to use a DVI display with an nVidia board, you have to use
nVidia's binary-only driver pack. I don't know if thi

local X server package and use that until 4.2.0 is released, and packages

Yes, this can be done using the XFree86-VidModeExtension. Modes can be
