how do I make this work? I have tdfx module (loade), libglide3 and
libglide3-dev (like debian planet suggests), X output says that DRI is
used etc... yet I get the message:
jojda:/home/erik# atlantis
gd error (glide): Can't find or access Banshee/V3 board
fx Driver: ERROR no Voodoo1/2 Graphics or Voodoo Rush !

this is confusing - I thought they use mesa (or basically any openGL
lib) and mesa was in turn implemented to use glide, so if new mesa
supports glide3 then all the games run fine...
for example heretic2 says:
GL_RENDERER: Mesa X11
GL_VERSION: 1.2 Mesa 3.1 beta
GL_EXTENSIONS: GL_EXT_blend_color GL_EXT_blend_minmax
GL_EXT_blend_logic_op GL_EXT_blend_subtract GL_EXT_paletted_texture
GL_EXT_point...
yet it runs so slowly that you don't measure fps but seconds per frame
(on pentium 1GH, 128MB RAM, 3dfx) - that's slow for even software
rendering!
thanks for the response...
