I'm having a hell of a time getting this to work. I'm running a mostly-clean install of Debian. It'd be wholly clean, except that when I set my sources to woody to get the .debs I'd like, dselect threw in a bunch more and I wasn't inclined to argue :)
Anyways, as the subjects says, I'm trying to get X4 running _properly_ with my video card, meaning that I'd like to have proper acceleration of X with my Banshee. I followed the instructions at debianplanet for X4 under 3dfx cards, but it balked at the libglide3 step, and when I searched the packages under dselect I couldn't find it either. But I have installed the proper libglide2 packages, or so it appears. As I understand it, I now have to install the device3dfx packages for libglide2 to run properly. I've downloaded and installed the source .deb, and now I'm lost. Am I supposed to compile a new kernel, since it seems to want compiled kernel sources in /usr/src/linux? I tried out the header-package, ran debian/buildpkg, got a .deb out of that, but it doesn't install properly. So what's the secret? What am I supposed to do? I'm not sure exactly _how_ I'm supposed to compile the .deb myself, so it's possible and likely that I've done something wrong in that regards. I'm willing to compile a kernel, if I have to. I'm willing to reinstall if that's needed. So what am I supposed to do? ---- Nigel ---- http://www.flipside.org/vol3/apr00/00ap20a.htm ----
