[aclug-L] Re: Voodoo & Linux 'OpenGL' 3D Graphics

[Bruce Bales <bbales@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,
http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/drivers/cards/video/3dfx/voodoo2.html
claims to have linux drivers for this card.  RedHat 7.2 has XFree86 -4.1 and
Glide3, so I believe this driver would work with it.

I agree with Randy on Mandrake vs. RedHat - If you want to use Mandrake, buy
another board.

Actually, it's quite difficult to persuade people
that you are bombing them for their own good.
