I've uploaded RPMs to incoming.redhat.com and emailed the maintainer of the website(haven't heard yet) about where to upload the RPMS there. I imagine you can download them from contrib.redhat.com sometimes today or tomorrow which might help you. i have a voodoo3 3000 and mine is working fine -- you shouldn't have to mess with it. -mike > All, > I got svgalib-1.4.1 src and compiled it with glibc2. > > But I still dont know how to configure libvga.config . > > Is there some documentation somewhere to use Voodoo3 with it ? > > The 0-INSTALL/0-README catagorized it as a AT3D type card but I did not find > it in the make file. > > Prasanna Subash > Manhattan Associates, Inc > Phone: 770 955 5533 x 1047 > psubash@manh.com <mailto:psubash@manh.com> > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Nugent [mailto:tony@growzone.com.au] > Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 1999 12:46 PM > To: Linux SVGAlib Email List > Subject: Re: Unable to do even 1024x768x256 on Voodoo3 3000 PCI > > > On Wed Dec 08 1999 at 16:21, Jim Jackson wrote: > > > Package systems are for distibutions.
