Greetings all,
Thanks so much for all the help at the install...um...loadfest?
Anyway, I've got Debian up on my old P1 box and on my thinkpad 560.
On to the question.
I'm trying to configure X with a 3Dfx Voodoo 4 4500 and an Acer 7133s
monitor. I've broken my XF86Config file several times now and I'm
getting used to it but I haven't had much success. Basically I can't get
above 640x480. I've looked at the 3Dfx HOWTO, the XFree86 website and
every conceivable Google search, so I'm not just wussing out here.
Here's what I know.
Some sites claim that the Voodoo4 and 5 use the same drivers.
There is very little mention of the Voodoo4 specifically.
The Glide drivers are said to work only with Voodoo 1&2 cards
I've done apt-get install glide2-bin
Here is some of my XF86Config-4 (ask if you need it all, just trying to
be conservative)
