Mandrake 8.1 and working 3D hardware support

sutty

Is very nice

I got it working there a few min ago.

I'm using the 4.1. Xserver, and the NVidia 1.0-1541 drivers.
I had to get a redone RPM from

RPMs

very easy to get working.

and all I have to say is

Tuxracer is fun when it looks good and runs at a High FPS and GL Tron is such a cool game, I'm going to play it at the next network I go to

All I need now is a GL linux quake download and I'm set

anyone know of one?

Hey have you tried adding
DefaultFbBpp 32 to /etc/X11/XF86Config
to get sparse 32 bit colour from X?
Might be worh a try?

Goodshape

hmmm, I tried downloading and installing the RPMs. They installed, but still no 3D.

Is there something I'm leaving out?

Geforce3 gf/x
Mandrake 8.1 O/S

...when I boot HardDrake I'm welcomed with a black screen (CTRL+ALT+F7 seems to get me back to X), the video card is listed as NONE Generic VGA.

Any advice?

<EDIT>
nevermind.. got it working

if its an nvidia card, then go to nvidia.com, go to the linux drivers page, and print the documentation. Only a few pages, and its piss easy to do if you bother to rtfm.
