Hello,
I am trying to get X to run a Voodoo Banshee Video card, and I =
can't get it to work. 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.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
