First, if you're going to mail this list, please send your mail in plain text format. Many of the users here, especially the experienced ones, use text-based mail readers, so stuff from Outlook looks like gibberish. Second, check out the announcement of XFree86 version 3.3.3.4 or something like that at http://wwww.XFree86.org. Supposedly the new version of it supports the Banshee, thought pre-compiled packages for FreeBSD may take a day or two to become available. I'm not sure you can run something like X under Linux emulation anyway, a native X would be a far better solution. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Bill A. K. Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 1999 4:16 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Voodoo Banshee Video (Creative 3D Blaster Banshee AGP) 16 Mb Card Hello, I am trying to get X to run a Voodoo Banshee Video card, and I can't get it to work. There is a X server for the Banshee out there(you can find it at http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS_vb_glibc.html), but it is for Linux(libc5 and glibc) i tried the libc5 version with the Linux LKM but it blows up looking for the tty devices(tty0, tty4, etc.) and exits. I also tried a NetBSD Port of the same X Server and it says: "Bad Magic: ld.so" and exits. I tried making hard links from the FreeBSD device names to their Linux counterparts, but i don't know the correct counterpart names. If you know the FreeBSD device names that are equal to the Linux tty0, tty4, etc,(who knows, it might not work even then) or if you know how to get the NetBSD version running please let me know, and if you have a way to get the Banshee running other than these servers, please also let me know. By the way i think i can get the standard SVGA server to run at 640x480 at 256 colors, but i need higher than that. If you can, I would really like it if you could help me out.
