Re: Which server to use??
For the 3dfx Voodoo Banshee-based boards, you can grab the "beta" server
available on the Creative Labs website. Look under Support | Drivers |
OtherOS | Beta for this server. I'm using it with my Guillemot Maxi Gamer
Phoenix without difficulty.
After getting the server you'll want to edit the "Accel" portion of
/etc/X11/XF86Config to add a line such as
DefaultColorDepth 16
-or-
DefaultColorDepth 24
Don't forget to set the various monitor-related settings to fit your
monitor.
