Re: [gentoo-dev] 3D-3dfx-gaming

Thnx for replying! u 2  drobbins@gentoo.org
I'll check it out as soon as i can ..

I'm not bitching but just saying so ppl see it later if they have the same question:
 The FAQ/HOWTOS [at least the one i found ] are so freaking old ...
 3dfx.com is down i meant does not exist anymore -- correct me if wrong.
 i'm having a hard time to find Glide as it is i think only on CVS @ freshmeat or sourceforge ..

I insist on getting this thing working more for a "sensible" cause than just playing 'cause i got a win98 box to do that just "almost fine" ...

It's because i wanna get a linux platform to perform as it should be on the gaming side 'cause the resources are here : the Kernel the best. the drivers : almost there !

This will help get more and more ppl to use Linux --- FYI in Russia the new president ordered "in a military" meaning to use only linux and especially not M$ !

I really really wish i had the time to participate --- writing drivers -- tuning distributions ... but now dont really have the time .

As a purist [i mean freak] i admire gentoo way too much since i'm using it already in production!

thnx

asta
