off track for those interested I got my voodoo3 working under linux with 3D acceleration and the q3test demo.. it's damm good ;)
Is this the graphics card for Linux?
I am not sure what you are asking, but hopefully this will satisfy ya The card is a 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 PCI version, The X server has been written for the banshee (the banshee and the voodoo3 are effectively the same, just the V3 is faster) and it works fine, the 3D Glide librarys have also been written, and are in alpha.. I have not personally experienced any bugs, but the drivers need "tweaking" after installation in order to get them to work, this will all be sorted out in time. the Quake3 test client (as far as I know) only runs under linux atm.. and I have tried it with a P166MMX, with 64Meg EDO ram, the V3, and a slow hard disk, and it is very impressive ;)... and Quake2 is unbelieveable fast at 1240x1048 !!!
does that answer your question ??
