Hi, I came across one of these last month. Here is what I found out.
Basically XFree86 4.x does not support this card. There is a comment in the dri pages which says that the dri support for this card was just an experiment which does not work right now. Support is being worked on in a new Mesa/dri release. Trying to get this card to work with the X version which redhat7.2 has, wasn't very successful. The card works with XFree86 3.3.x . You will need to use the 3DLabs driver. Even then I do not think it is fully supported. If this is wrong, I would like to know!, and get mine to work, properly(using all the 96Mb, and the dual rasterizing chips and all the other funky features) :-) Thanks, -bharath On Sat, 2002-03-02 at 23:11, Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom wrote: > So I see that compgeeks.com has Oxygen GMX2000 vid boards for $180.
