I have successfuly ran testGlide2x from one of the packages, as root though, because of the lack of permissions. usr/X11R6/lib/libglide2x.so (with a /usr/X11R6/lib/libglide.so.2 softlink) usr/lib/libglide2x.so (with a /usr/lib/libglide.so.2 softlink) From one of the Slackware, 3DFx Reference files or both, I placed the following files: I didn't take notes on what I did so far, but this is what I have done, sort of. The link in the GLIDE(4) xorg man page is broken, so you can't get the drivers from there.Īnyway, as google is quite a pal if you're patient enough, I have found some Slackware tgz's and other distro's RPMs (including sources) with Glide 2 Drivers. I'm in the process of getting my SLI connected Voodoo2 cards to work. 'So slay me now! I have little magic left.' If you have an old Voodoo 1 or 2 board - start tinkering! (so I won't have to do it) Also, there is no 'glide' driver either! Perhaps i need to re-emerge X.org with 3dfx set? But I can't find it! And X.org doesn't autodetect my Voodoo 2 (well, does show up nicely in the log but can't be activated). Reading the release notes for X.org 6.8.x it says that there should now be a glide-less driver for the Voodoo 1 & 2 board.

I've been messing around with X.org for an hour becoming none the wiser. The PC has been equipped with a Diamond Monster 3D II (Voodoo 2) I've had lying around for years. Next to me i have a K6-2 333 just finishing compiling X.org 6.8.2. I seem to recall some glide library file was missing.? The glxgears score compared to similar machines should tell you when everything works like it should. There might be some problem with the glide-v3 ebuild in portage. Voodoo 3 cards can use the tdfx driver and are fully usable. This has long been near impossible and left to l33+people only. Posted: Fri 11:55 pm Post subject: X.org driverĪccording to the X.org driver docs here you should be able to get something out of Voodoo 1 & 2 cards now.

prboom runs nearly flawless in 800圆00x16, 3d accelerated of course. Getting up glide is always a pain in the a**. I do not know wether this helps, there is a Voodoo 3/3000 in my box, which works so far under xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1, with hw acceleration. Would be nice to know if it is possible and what modules to select in kernel and/or additional packages that have to be emerged. I haven't found anything in the net except a note that Voodoo 1 and 2 are more difficult to handle and that they are not supported by DRI. Is there a possibility to use my Voodoo 2-AddOn card under Gentoo? I'd like to be able to play Quake 2 etc. Posted: Thu 1:53 pm Post subject: 3dfx Voodoo 2 under Gentoo
