Any suggestions on how to get that working? since i do all my stuff as root i dont have much to suggest other then make sure the user can access the /dev/3dfx device, which i believe was designed so non-root users can access the card. also make sure the module is inserted and that /dev/3dfx exists -- mine: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 107, 0 Dec 11 02:21 /dev/3dfx esper >2) When I try to start up Myth2 (whether as root or not) it dies because it esper >can't open libglide2x.so. Both the Glide2 and Glide3 packages from esper >linux.3dfx.com include libglide3x.so. Where can I find a libglide2x? libglide2x is from linux.3dfx.com as well, libglide3x i think is for developers only and not many things use it(yet) http://linux.3dfx.com/open_source/download/voodoo3_banshee.htm the link: http://linux.3dfx.com/open_source/download/glibc20/Glide_V3-2.60-10.i386.glibc2.0.rpm that file did not work for me i had to compile it from source, but the libs i got are: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 11 15:07 /usr/lib/libglide2x.so -> libglide2x_V3.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 411189 Sep 27 13:42 /usr/lib/libglide2x_V3.so make sure you are using a voodoobanshee or voodoo3 if you use those drivers, if you are using a voodoo1 or voodoo or voodoo rush they won't work(you didnt specify) i cant advise on drivers for the other ones as i have never tried them. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 8:47pm up 137 days, 8:43, 4 users, load average: 1.71, 1.59, 1.55
