Hi all,

Anybody tried getting libglide3 for tdfx voodoo 3 cards working in slack 11?

Apparently the tdfx module does not yield dri without this libglide3, but to date I can only locate how-to's for xfree86 install's, no xorg.

Well I should say, the Xorg.log shows dri is enabled, but the 'glxinfo |grep render' says no, which lead me down the path to the assumption that I need this libglide3.

Card is a voodoo 3 3000 agp on an old dell xps that I came across. It has an intel motherboard.

I am running it at 1024x768 16bit color which is the best the card (which is an agp card) can do and achieve direct rendering according the windows readme of dell's site.

Any pointer's greatly appreciated.

did you modprobe drm ?

Hi tex, honestly no I didnt I'll give that a whirl, thanks for the advice.

nope no luck.

i did however find the source for libglide3, anyone know how I run ./configure on this source package?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/glide

Read "INSTALL". Also can you post the output of 'lsmod'.

I have an old AGP Voodoo Banshee on my PII test box, running Slack11 and the tdfx driver. Everything runs fine on the box. I get about 698 fps with glxgears. Nothing extraordinary, but better than nothing.

Download the old 3dfx-glide package from Slack 10.2:

Install the package and restart X.

Hi all,

I just booted this pc up on a knoppix v 5 cd, apt-get the libglide3 and got DRI 900 fps on a live cd rofl...so now I know it can be DONE!

Thanks woodsman I'm gonna go give it a shot now. Tho I wonder if I will need to maybe rebuild the package as I intend to use slack 11 on it. heh...i accidently deleted all my slack 10.2 packages and such...I'm my own worst virus you know.

tar tar 4 now
