DRI for 3dFX Voodoo 4/5 and Xfree86 4.1.0

Ok, I have compiled the Direct Rendering Manager into my kernel, including the 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+. I have Xfree86 4.1.0. My Video card is a voodoo 4/5. I am wondering if I need to do anything besides compile the kernel for my vid card. Xfree86 works fine, other than when i want to pla

DRI

This is what glxinfo returned. It does say no next to direct rendering. Im not sure what to edit in xfree86config, and what module i need to load. I am using kernel 2.4.8 (is compiled for 3dfx vid card), and Xfree86 version 4.1.0. name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rende

DRI

I have a Voodoo 4/5 and I am running kernel 2.4.8 on potato. I just installed quake and got it to run, but it runs so slow that it isn't playable. I was wondering if there was a way to check if i had the correct drivers, or if i need to download some drivers. I want to see if DRI is working, or

Sound not working

Ok, i've gone throught the sound HOWTO. When my system boots up, it detects the card, and says it's at IRQ 11. But, when I do an lsmod, nothing is listed at all. But, when I do a "cat endoftheworld > /dev/dsp", that song plays (if i turn the speakers up loud). My question is, how can I g

apt-get install netscape

I tried using apt-get to install netscape. It prompted me to insert my potato CD. Then I got this error msg durring the install. Setting up netscape3 (3.04-8) ... ERROR: The Netscape archive must be in /tmp under the name: /tmp/netscape-v304-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.[gz|Z]

No Sound

I don't have any sound in X yet. When I try to run the mixer it tells me that my kernel might not be compiled for sound, when I know that it is. I have sb_lib.o and a couple other files in my /lib/modules/kernel/sound directory. If anybody has any ideas of to where I should start, please let me

ppp 2.4

Ok, this may be a dumb question. Is there a ppp-2.4 debian package? I upgraded to kernel 2.4.8 and someone told me i need ppp 2.4. I checked at debian.com for ppp packages, and the latest one i saw there was ppp 2.3.11-1.4. If there is a ppp 2.4, does anyone know where to get it? Thanks!

Problem with PPP

Ok, when I do a 'pon', my modem dials and connects, but as soon as it connects it disconnects. I did a 'plog' to check and see if taht would tell me what the problem was. 'Plog' is giving me this:   asphault pppd[747]: Serial connection established asphault pppd[747]: Couldn't attach tty to p
