I have a Canopus Pure3D in my combo Win95/FreeBSD box at home. It works great and is without a doubt the best consumer level 3Dfx Voodoo based card out there. It's the best value and it also is the best performer. Plus you get the S-Video and Composite out options. All I had to do to get it working under FreeBSD 3.0-current was this: o cvsup to the latest current code and make world/kernel o install the linux-devel port in /usr/ports/devel/linux_devel o install linux glide stuff in /usr/local/glide o compile Mesa 2.5 using the linux gcc and install it according to Amancio's instructions o compile svgalib-foo using the linux gcc and install it according to Amancio's instructions (also configure it for mouse support) o make sure linux emul is running and then just run GLQuake from the console >From over here the added circuitry for NTSC or S-Video output perhaps >makes a little difficult to support. Nope. Not a factor whatsoever. All that is controlled by custom GLIDE drivers made by Canopus for Win95/NT. If you aren't using those drivers, then the outputs just won't work. That doesn't much matter since the normal SVGA passthru does, which is pretty much all people care about in this case. > Cheers, > Amancio *********** NewOrderDepecheModeUltravoxViolentFemmesKillingJoke ************* * Ken * NineInchNailsFront242TangerineDreamTheBreedersTekno * * * Krebs * SkinnyPuppyLaTourBauhausBookOfLoveModernEnglishB52s * * *********** FishBoneBigCountryJoyDivisonSiouxsie&TheBansheesXTC ************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IRC: Schrade E-Mail: schrade@schrade.com <URL:http://www.schrade.com/>;
