Everything seemed to work just fine. Except once again there was no 3d acceleration for my Voodoo 3 card (I always seem to get this). I tried all the debugging steps suggested on dri.sourceforge.net and they all indicated that DRI was working. Trouble was it was not ! So I created an xfree-4.2.0-r5.ebuild on my machine with the following lines added: echo "#define XF86CardDrivers vga tdfx mga ati i810" >> config/cf/host.def echo "#define BuildXF86DRI YES" >> config/cf/host.def echo "#define HasGlide3 YES" >> config/cf/host.def If you look at the ebuild you will see where to put these after: echo "#define DefaultCCOptions -ansi" >> config/cf/host.def Then I copied the r4 digest to an r5 digest: #cp /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/files/digest-xfree-4.2.0-r4 /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/files/digest--xfree-4.2.0-r5 and did: emerge x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r5 Many hours later I have gears running at 222.2 FPS instead of 33, ta da ! OK this only an old K6 266 box so this quite good I think. This assumes you have glide 3 installed already I guess. 3dfx has always failed for me with Gentoo (And every other distro I have tried). Perhaps we need a "USE 3dfx" variable to fix this. Sorry I don't have time to get serious about this just now. Anyway I hope this helps someone. Michael Rychlik. In sunny Finland.
