There is a X server for the Banshee out there(you = can find it at http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS_vb_glibc.html), but it = is for Linux(libc5 and glibc) i tried the libc5 version with the Linux = LKM but it blows up looking for the tty devices(tty0, tty4, etc.) and = exits. I also tried a NetBSD Port of the same X Server and it says: "Bad = Magic: ld.so" and exits. I tried making hard links from the FreeBSD = device names to their Linux counterparts, but i don't know the correct = counterpart names. If you know the FreeBSD device names that are equal = to the Linux tty0, tty4, etc,(who knows, it might not work even then) or = if you know how to get the NetBSD version running please let me know, = and if you have a way to get the Banshee running other than these = servers, please also let me know. By the way i think i can get the = standard SVGA server to run at 640x480 at 256 colors, but i need higher = than that. If you can, I would really like it if you could help me out.
