Re: GPL & Voodoo3 Problem

I had exactly the same prob with my v3 3500. And the problem was fixed with the delv.inf file, I found on the 3dfx page. If you don't find it, I can mail it to you, its small. Rolf Peter Blackmore schrieb:

There is a program on the 3dfx website (its a delv. file, I cant remember the exact name) that deletes all banshee references on your system. It fixes many problems that occur when upgrading from a banshee to a V3. Try it :) Ivan In article <MPG.13586e484e6dbcd5989693@news>, [email hidden] (Peter Blackmore) wrote: > Hi: > > I have just purchased a 16-MB 3Dfx Voodoo3 2000 AGP card and now myGPL > won't recognize 3Dfx accelerator.

Peter - you have excellent taste in hardware ;-) You have described my configuration exactly - including the motherboard! GPL (and everything else) works great. Only difference - I have never had a Banshee.

Hi: I have just purchased a 16-MB 3Dfx Voodoo3 2000 AGP card and now my GPL won't recognize 3Dfx accelerator. Previous Creative Voodoo2 Banshee worked fine, but had only 4-MB. Anyone know what I may be missing? Mainboard is an ASUS P3B-F with PIII-500 and 128-MB RAM, SoundBlaster Live!. GPL patches have been applied and latest 3Dfx Voodoo3 drivers added. Included Tools & MiniGL 1.46 from 3Dfx CD. Thanks, Peter

I've finally got GPL to recognize the Voodoo3 card, thanks to Rolf and Ivan. I removed the Voodoo3 drivers, installed the delv.inf, then re- installed the drivers. Now I have what could be described as a "pixelization" problem. The track and cars are not drawn completely. I've installed DirectX 7a but that hasn't solved the problem. I did notice, however, that the Voodoo3 installs Glide3x.DLL, not Glide2x.DLL. All the documentation I can find refers to Glide2x patches. Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks again, Peter In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...
