3dfx Drivers

[jbstew32]

If I compile the 3dfx driver for my voodoo3 using kernel 2.4 test11, it doesn't work. It compiles coreectly, but when i insmod it, it gives me some garbage and says segmentation fault! AGhH! What do I do? I need this kernel for the hardware support.

did you compile the agp chipset driver and the agpgart and dri? I forgot the chipset driver and was very frustrated when my module would not load even though it worked with the previous kernel.

And don't forget to compile in mtrr support too http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif ...hope this helps.

Some of the hardware support was backpatched to 2.2.18, such as USB and DRM if you needed either of those... are you sure your hardware isn't supported by 2.2.18?

yeah i am sure. By the way, I did compile MTRR support as well as the AGP driver. I didn't compile the 3dfx one though (tdfx.o) because I didn't think that I needed it (its a DRI driver for X4.0, and I have 3.3.6)

just discovered that it is a bug, and Device3dfx will NOT work at all with kernels 2.4.0-test2 and up http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

I went to glide's sourceforge page and looked at the bug list. THey found this bug in july, and it hasn't been fixed yet.
