Wolf ET Am I Stupid?

cavemanPi · 04-28-2006, 11:12 PM

Ok here is the thing. I am very new to Linux systems... while i have had a system for a while it has sadly been neglected til i was able to get it a networking card. Anyways that is not what I am dealing with. I am running Mandriva LE 2005. I am trying to run wolfenstein ET. When I try to gt it to start I get this.

Code:

I have read a few threads about similar situations. Honestly I am a bit confused and a bit frustrated.

System specs:
600 MHz pentium III
Voodoo3 graphics accelerator
352megs of ram
cannot give motherboard specs... cause I honestly dont know.

You need an extra driver for this (that is to get 3D acceleration).

So would you have any information that could point me in the direction of what i need? Or more importantly, is there any information that I might know to help you help me?

Since I never used this card, no.
All I know is that they used to be rather popular for Linux users in the past and worked rather well. Do realise that voodoo is a thing from the past. These days, most Linux users prefer nVidia cause of its driver support.

Perhaps you could search this forum for voodoo support and if that doesn't answer your question, start a new topic about it.
