[NTLUG:Discuss] Voodoo3 versux XFree86

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

Are you sure you're running their XF86Setup (`which XF86Setup`)?  It shows up
for me.  xfree86 changed at 3.3.2 so X -> Xwrapper now.  Xconfigurator ought to
work.   Does your version match the rest of your XFree86 rpm's?  Are you
starting in VGA mode (640x480) to guarantee your monitor settings will work?
Finally, what does it say when you capture startx?  (`startx
2>/tmp/startx.out`)?

So far, the Voodoo3 is winning.

I replaced my video card with a 2D/3D PCI version of the Voodoo3 2000.  I
went to linux.3dfx.com and downloaded the source rpm for XF86 (their
recommendation), built and installed it, and used their version of
XF86Setup.

Here's where it gets interesting; their website says to use the 3dfx X
server, but the version of XF86Setup I downloaded from them doesn't list
such a server.
