Vid cards are supported by XFree, so you'll > find more informatin about what is supported at the xfree.org site: > http://www.xfree.org/cardlist.html I believe that page may be appropriate to V3.3.6, but most newer cards are only supported under V4. Information for that release can be found at http://www.sfree.org/4.2.0/Status.html. That page shows that Voodoo2, 4, and 5 are all supported in 4.2. 4.2.0: Support for Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 chips is provided by the "glide" driver (this requires version 2.x of the Glide library, which is not part of the XFree86 distribution). Support (including acceleration) for Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3, Voodoo4, and Voodoo5 is provided by the "tdfx" driver. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
