I have a VooDoo 3 3000 installed in the machine I'm writing this to you on. It's installed in a Tyan Tiger dual Athlon motherboard running XFree86 4 and Gnome 2.6. When the machine boots, I get 1 long and 3 short beeps (with a red screen) before POST starts. This does not appear to prevent the card from working for me. For XFree86 mine runs at 1400x1050 at 24 bit depth. I have no complaints. I do not run graphics, other than Gnome 2.6 and its screen savers. The graphics on the screen saver is good enough to make my wife jealous. I don't know if this has helped or not. Cheers...
