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 billak@geocities.com ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BED2D3.94BE8980 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2014.210" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> I am trying to = get X to=20 run a Voodoo Banshee Video card, and I can't get it to work.
