If Elbox wrote a Voodoo1 driver??
« on: March 19, 2010, 01:40:38 PM »
Just a though..but if Elbox wrote a driver for the Voodoo1 series of cards for their mediators.....theoreticaly you could pass the native display through it via rgb vga adapter and it would be flickerfixed/scandoubled?
 
Any thoughts?

Why not? it's designed to take a display passed through it.
I'm intrigued why it wouldn't work.

Ok, would it make the native display viewable on modern monitors?

It seems it has only a 3d acceleration chipset...no 2d capabilities at all.
So no it wouldn't.
