GRex PCI + Voodoo 3 3000 16 MB + LAN + Sound

The CGX Voodoo 3 driver recognizes the Voodoo card without any problems, the screenmodes can be set up and there's no graphics corruption.

All applications just WORK, you can play games such Wipeout or Heretic II, so I just don't know where did you find all those informations about Voodoo and BPPC rev 0 problems.

because I have a bppc rev0 and a grex with voodoo3..
can you tell me what versions of the driver for pci,voodoo,cgx and also the flash ver of the ppc ?
I have the problem where I can see all the devices on pciscan but the V3 driver does not load and I can't start cgxmode to setup some resolutions to the cgx driver...
But when I flash the card with latest grexupdate I can see in the output of voodoo the early-startup screen but when the amiga boots the above problem exists also. (ofcourse when I flash I exchange the pci driver and pciscan with the correct version it that it needs every flash). :pissed:
I know that some people here said that they have a working grex with voodoo3 and bppc rev0, but until now I'm not one of them....  :-(

@lordspider
Actually I though of a screenshot to prove that grex is working with rev0 :-)
you can post a grab with screenmode showing the resolutions of the voodoo and the selected res, also in the same screen you must show the rev of the ppc and another window showing the ouput of the pciscan!
I thing thats enought! And because I have the same setup with the above problem and I don't know if its my mistake (software) or bppcs prob I'm in need for this grab to have faith and continue messing with software instalations!!!!
So with one grab you help yourself and me :=)
I hope to convinced you!!!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

When I flashed mine with the latest grex firmware I could see the early-startup on my voodoo3 . But when the machine booted the driver didn't init .. so I could not open cgxmode to setup some screenmodes.. When I double click cgxmode it does nothing but the last command menu show my attemp to run it....
When I flashed back for bvision and pluged it in the cgxmode worked as it should.
I belive its something to do with CGX setup.. I thing it a crappy software as long as installer goes.. I also made the latest update to cgx4 but nothing.
I tried also a clean install of OS3.9 and cgx but nothing again.. I think the only solution is for someone with a working setup like this to archive all the needed files in the wright positions and send them to me... I know that its illegal but I have the original CGX4 CD.. so I belive its not too illegal !

edit: also the pciscan recognise corectly my voodoo3 card thats the only card atm connected to grex...

Anyone knows exactly whats the problems with a bppc rev0 ??
x56h34 says that it does not even display earlyboot startup in voodoo..
mine displays it correctly but does not init the voodoo3 monitor driver (maybe because i setup CGX 4 from the begining and not first cgx3...)
AmiGR ? do I need to setup CGX3 BEFORE going 4 ?
If I make it to work I will write a tutorial with all my experience and knowledge I have gain from this.
With too many new users registering in AO we need some tutorials so they can start to learn  8-)
