Known Bugs
This server has no 3D support. It is just an X server, it will not let you do any 3D work.
This is only for glibc based systems. I don't have a way to build for libc5 systems anymore.

FAQs
When will you make it easier to install or support my system?
There are now RPMS which should make it easier to install.

When will you make libc5 versions?
I tried to make libc5 versions on my system and it didn't work. Someone with a libc5 system should try the build themselves.

When will you add 3D support?
First it has to work. Then I've got a bunch of Glide cleanup and building to do, some of which will facilitate doing 3D on the Banshee. Then I've got some Banshee specific changes to make. When that's done I'll release it.

Why does it use so much memory?
Ps and top report the amount of memory being used by the number of pages mapped to your process. Because the Banshee has 16MB of framebuffer and 32MB of control registers the process size will be at least 48MB. Of course, this is using almost no RAM in your system since it is real memory or registers on the board.

Why doesn't it work with two video cards?
The code isn't setup to handle multiple cards in one system. It's a lot of work to change it at this point. That will happen eventually, but for now you will need to disable or remove the second card.

How do I collect the output of the server when it starts up?
If you use sh: startx <whatever options> 2>&1 | tee /usr/tmp/X.log
If you use csh: startx <whatever options> |& tee /usr/tmp/X.log

How do I know if I have glibc or libc5?
Do ls /lib/lib* if it returns /lib/libc.so.5 then you have libc5. If it returns /lib/libc.so.6 then you have glibc (aka libc6).

My system doesn't use RPM, what do I do? Take a look at these instructions.
Other Bugs?
I'm about ready to roll this version out for wide distribution. If you see any bugs when you run this version that aren't on the known bugs list, please send me email at daryll@harlot.rb.ca.us. When you send in a bug report I really need five things.
1) A good description of the problem and what you might have done to cause it.
2) Your XF86Config.
3) The output of the server as it starts up
4) Your brand of banshee board (Maker, Memory, and video BIOS version).

Version
This version fixes a bug with small pixmaps and wide lines.
The server is available as XFree86_3DFX-SVGA-3.3.3-4.i386.glibc.rpm. You will also need the Rush extension libraries contained in XFree86_3DFX-rushlib-3.3.3-4.i386.glibc.rpm

You may also want the setup program XFree86_3DFX-XF86Setup-3.3.3-4.i386.glibc.rpm to help with setting up the server. You'll need to have TCL and the VGA16 server installed on your system to use this setup program. Otherwise you can use whatever setup program comes with your distribution. Just tell the setup program that you have a card it doesn't know about and that it should use the SVGA server. The rest of the information such as ramdac, memory, and clock speeds should be left alone, as the server will determine these automatically.
