Description:

Old 16MB 3dfx card. I miss 3dfx...
Anyway, when they included support for a lot of older 3d cards in the XFree drivers in 4.3.0, this one started behaving badly. I went with a rollback to 4.2.1, but later just cheated and copied the 4.2.1 drivers into 4.3.0 and it works... I've got it on a dual-head system with an old ATI rage 128, so I haven't used DRI in a while, but the extra mplayer drivers specifically for these cards rock!
This makes an excellent PCI 2nd or 3rd head card if you want to play with xinerama.

This was an excellent card. Back in the days I actually paid more than $50.00 bucks for a video card since I'm not a big gamer, I did like the 3dfx cards in which I'm still using mine in one of my systems.
Never had any problems getting this card to work in the mentioned distributions and among others I didn't mention.

Works great... Just choose the right adapter in the install and all has been perfect.
The price is skewed because I got it from a friend for free.

I have not had any problems with this card using basic Linux stuff in the past. But now with the major changes that FC2 has put out, I am reduced to a measily 800x600 resolution with much headaches. It may be capable of more and I am just missing the setting/config file that I need to make it happen. I have never had to tweak anything in the past though.
<edit>
Doh!, this issue was not related to the card. It was the Monitor that FC2 said was only capable of 800x600. I changed monitor settings and viola! I am back at 1280x1024 again. Apparently the Gateway EV700 was auto-detected, but the settings for the monitor only allow 800x600.

This card works mostly ok, however on playback of DVD's or on the Television the right hand side of the screen is usually replicated vertically several times. problem fixes if you reduce screen size, or actually push a portion of the image off screen. The problem seems to happen no matter what driver is used. Crazy uh!?

Everything works perfect except no linux drivers for the OpenGL support of the card. (aka no good screen savers or Cedega)
