So, a friend of mine shipped me a very special present quite randomly: a Voodoo2 SLI. Unfortunately the cards don't match, and one of them was damaged in transit (snapped off a capacitor - should be easy to fix with a soldering iron). The end result is that I have one Voodoo2 left, and I want very much to stretch its little legs. Here's my lspci dump:

Otherwise, it's a Celeron D 325 with a gig of dual-channel DDR400 in an i865PE motherboard, all running Slackware 12. I know that Alan Cox rewrote the Voodoo driver, so I shouldn't need to worry about finding the latest source for the mouldering Glide driver and doing a lot of praying. What do I need to do in order to activate the Voodoo2 without disabling the 6600GT?

Hi,

I've been using my Voodoo2 card with xorg on Slackware 12 for a few weeks,
while I could not get the new xorg voodoo driver working the recently release glide driver

http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/...-1.0.0.tar.bz2

works just like it did on Xfree86 on Slackware 10.2 for me anyway, I'm currently using libglide2 which I just copied over
from the compile I did on slackware 10 the files I used to compile it are

glide2-src20050404.tgz
glide2_headers.tgz
binutils-2.13.2.1.tar.gz - only need gasp

I think you still also need the 3dfx module only needed for glide2x, I've not tried glide3x yet.
I got the source for the 3dfx module from sourceforge under glide development CVS I've got some notes
on how I compiled it pretty messy notes unfortunately

for 2.6 kernels

Device3Dfx-CVS-200101029.tar.gz - I may have patched cant remember

Makefile simple contains 1 line:
obj-m := 3dfx.o

make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5 SUBDIRS=$PWD modules

produces 3dfx.ko module

Because Slackware 12 uses udev and I don't know how to write udev rules I just make the 3dfx device at ever boot
with mknod /dev/3dfx c 107 0.

xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Voodoo"
Driver "glide"
Option "dpms" "on"
Option "GlideDevice" "0"
BusID "PCI:0:10:0"
EndSection


Anyway hopefully the voodoo driver will work for you if not at least we can now fall back to using the glide driver until its working. I've been putting off switching to slackware 12 because I love having 2 monitors it makes things so much easier. here's a pic of my voodoo2 at work.

Hey, thanks! I'll give this a shot over the weekend and report my results.
