Assuming you have installed it within /compat/linux don't forget to use /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig to update the linux library cache. > I loaded the 3dfx.ko kernel module and got: > tdfx0: <3DFX Voodoo II 3D Accelerator> mem 0xe2000000-0xe2ffffff at device 11.0 on pci0 > Looks OK. Are the permissions on the /dev/3dfx device suitable? Also, I think that the test program wants to have access to the X session, so you might try a "xhost +" to be sure. Also, note that AFAIK the /dev/3dfx device does not work with a Voodoo II in SLI configuration (2 cards connected with SLI cable) - you can workaround by not using this device (at least it worked for me). > `uname -a`: > FreeBSD leviathan 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Feb 4 22:22:10 CST 2002 root@leviathan:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LEVIATHAN i386 > I mostly played around with Voodoo II on -stable, patched because it doesn't have the /dev/3dfx device (yet?). It's a while ago, but it usually worked fine for me. I gave it a try yesterday night, but failed probably because I don't have a patched linux module at the moment and got complaints about unimplemented syscalls. Also, I had to force the Glide rpm installation because it complained about conflicting files in XFree86-4-libraries. I removed those files assuming I won't need them. I'll give it another try (also on -current) and let you know. Karel. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
