Re: [TCLUG:6040] Configuring Xwin on Graph. blaster

[serge@egel2.med.umn.edu (Serge M. Egelman)]

Is that the permedia2 chip?  If it is, I have a FireGL 1000 pro which also
uses that chip.  The X server that you want is XFCom_3DLabs which is part
of the SuSE X-Server (http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html).  If you have
Xfree86 3.3.3 it is now included as 'xglint'.  If all else fails, you can
always use the generic SVGA server or the mono one.
