Re: Xfree

Hi there folks,

I've now installed an S3 PCI card and I've got X up and running nice and
stable. Not to sure about trying the voodoo again. Maybe I'll keep my eye
out for a voodoo 3000 agp. There's a shop in London that buys and sells
older gear. The system seems plenty stable and fast even with an older vga
card.

Next steps are to compile a newer kernel, and get sound working. I'm not to
sure about what sort of sound this board has though I have the manuals on
pdf so I'll have to investigate.

I only really wanted a 3d card to see how quake performs on this system.

Long live Alpha - if only in our hearts and minds ;-)

Thanks to everyone on the list and debian in general.

Cheers,



Peter Watkinson
