Voodoo 4 PCI and Linux

[HotRod]

Hi!

My Voodoo 3 broke recently so I baught a Voodoo 4 for my AmigaOne. The problem is that I can't get it to work! When I use the tdfx-drivers the display gets terrible. If I use fbdev the gfx looks ok but in wrong colours.

I had a small accident with my AmigaOne earlier wich broke my Voodoo 3 and I'm still worried that something might be wrong with it but I want to check here first if it's supposed to work with a Voodoo 4 PCI or if I might have missed something.

I'm using xfree86 4.2 from unstable.

I've tried the card with my Mediator and it worked fine.

what version of Xfree do you use?
I might be wrong, but it looks like you've set wrong card model to use by Xfree. This could destroy your card (wrong RAMDAC setings)

didn't saw that :-D

try to download xfree 3.3 or 3.6, and if this won't help, try to use standard 16 bit X instead of an accelerated X for voodoo..

Set the screen to 8 bit, and it will work. You have the same card as me, and I never got it working correctly either

Thanks a lot for the answer. I was really worried. I haven't tried 8-bit though since I moved the card to my A4000 for now and I'm not feeling like setting up my AmigaOne right now :-) .
