visualize fx2 on c200

[Alexander Gabert <pappy@nikita.ath.cx>]

hi,

i have 2 questions:

1. does the visualize fx2 in the c200 is ever likely to be supported by
XFree86?  in console it is working but no penguin.
or is there any way to get it work with linux and X?

2. the following cards are in the machine:

bluefish:~# lspci
00:01.0 Multimedia video controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 2
(rev 02)
00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 264VT [Mach64
VT] (rev 40)
00:13.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly
NCR) 53c875 (rev 04)
00:14.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip
21142/43 (rev 30)
01:04.0 Display controller: Hewlett-Packard Company: Unknown device 1008
(rev 02)

the last one is the visualize fx2

more detailed lspci at the end of the mail

bluefish:~# fbset -i
open /dev/fb0: No such device
bluefish:~# uname -a

it is the 2.4.18 kernel from debian:

tonight i am going to compile kernel 2.4.19 from unstable with as much
fb devices as modules as i can get through.

didn't i read a thread about voodoo2's lately here?

which card is likely to work, the voodoo2 or the ati?

i also have 2 matrox millennium2 lying around here.
should i give them a try?


thanks,

good evening,

alex
