Alright, in addition to the linux-glide 2.4, you have to go to 3dfx's website and d/l and install the proper linux glide library. The one that comes with linux-glide 2.4 is for a plain old VooDoo I think. Once I downloaded and installed the the glide library for the voodoo II on my computer, my voodoo 2's work fine. One thing though, any program that uses the voodoo II's needs to be run as root. > > > > I just installed linux-glide 2.4 on my system and wanted to > > > > test it, but the test program tells me that no voodoo board > > > > is installed. > > > > (...) > > > > I have a Diamond Voodoo II board installed, which works fine under Windows. > > > > Do I have to set up some special devices in FreeBSD or something? > > > > Any help is appreciated! > > > > > Don't know about linux-glide, but there's no chance to address the Voodoo > > > chipset unless you use the corresponding X server within the very new > > > XFree86 3.3.4 release (URL for download e.g. > > > ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/xfree86/XFree86/3.3.4/binaries/FreeBSD-3.x). > > > > What do you mean by corresponding X server?
