What do you mean by corresponding X server? Do I have to install a special X server for Voodoo support? I'm using a Matrox G200 AGP has my "normal" graphics board and want to use my PCI Voodoo 2 board once in a while. I looked at the new features of 3.3.4, there Voodoo 3 and Banshee support is mentioned, so I think Voodoo 2 must have been supported already in an earlier version of XFree86. Has anyone managed to use a Voodoo 2 board with FreeBSD? I'm interested in using Glide and/or MesaGL with it... Ciao, Thomas.
