hi guys/gals
i just installed linux mandrake 7.1 yesterday so obviously i'm =
completely new at this and right now i'm trying to install v3 drivers. =
i'm getting them from linux.3dfx.com and trying to install the v3 =
reference drivers. the problem is that after rpm'ing the =
XFree86_SVGA_3.3.5-4.i386.rpm package (it said i had an upgraded =
package) the second rpm package (XFree86-XF86Setup-3.3.5-4.i386) will =
not install cuz it says it needs sone XFree86_VGA16 package. if anybody =
out there has a v3 did you get this problem when trying to install =
drivers? and if you did did you correct it by getting this package or =
is there a work around.
mandrake has v3 generic support but i don't know if their driver =
supports glide/opengl games. in the control panel it does have mesa =
morph3d and mesa gears that i can run but i don't think that will help =
me. if someone has a v3 comfigured correctly so for example so i can =
play q3/ut/etc
can you tell me step by step how you did it?
the kernel is 2.2.15 and the xfree86 version is 3.3.6. i have an athlon =
650, 192 ram (for some reason linux doesn't recognize all of it), sound =
blaster 128, v3 2000 pci, 10 gig hard drive (dual win/linux boot), tv =
card. thanks for any help you can give me.
