I have the /dev/3dfx node and I have the 3dfx module (it get loaded
everytime I start test3dfx ) and I have the right permissions!
The problem is: If I start test3dfx in a xterm from X ist works.
If I start it from the console it doesn't.
If I start quake from X it works it just ignores keypresses unless I
switch to console 4 (eithet chvt 4 or strg-alt-4) and if I do so the
colors get bad and after quitting the display is unusable!
thanks for your help !
ciao
