Re: 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee

[Frank Carreiro <fcarreiro keylabs com>]

Thx.  I'll keep the file handy.  I've already returned the card for a
Voodoo3 as I'm desperate.  I've been using NT until I resolve the Linux
driver issue and I'm in Linux withdrawl :D  Had to get something working
fast as I've been fighting this for almost a week.

I'm building another system (multiboot linux and NT) and will probably
get the ATI.  Probably ;D  I'm running 5.2 across the board and have
been thinking of upgrading to 6.0.  My 5.2 BTW is all patched and
upgraded so I was told the Rage Fury should work.  Guess it was 5.2 I
was fighting against.

Thanks again 

Frank
