I already tried a Voodoo 3000 (PCI) which I wpreviously using with my Mediator. With the latest kernal (kern310) it only worked in VESA mode. Are there any kernals that support Voodoo in hw-acceleration?


Amithlon can do 3D on a Voodoo (no just 3D, 2D is still unaccelerated). All you need is an AGP-card (so the kernel won't snatch the voodoo) and the hacked&patched Prometheus driver Harald presented in Cologne (back in 2001).

Only problem is that getting that driver involves breaking into Harry's house, getting past the guy himself .....  :roll:
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
