Hi All
I have the same problem, but I can add some more Information maybe it
helps!
If I run X (3.3.6) I have no problems running the test3dfx binary, except
setting it to another resolution then I get a segfault. Running Quake from
X seems to work at first glance, but it seems to open another vt (usally
vt4) and I have to switch to this vt manually to get keypresses, but then
the colors get bad. Leaving Quake leaves all consoles in unusable state
(some wierd colors).
Running test3dfx or quake from console fails with the message above !
Can anybody help? Or is there some documentation somewhere?
ciao
