Dimond monster II, and some news about Voodoo Rush
Hi all,
Well, Creative Labs did release a 12MB Voodoo 2 cards 2 weeks ago, and as
much as I heard, it's a bit cheaper.
Anyway, you can get Diamond and Creative Voodoo 2 cards at Excellnet
(http://www.hardware.co.il)
About the driver for Linux: Soon there will be Glide 2.5 for Linux. I just
received a confirmation from Daryll Strauss (the guy who ported to Glide to
Linux)
Now about the Voodoo Rush driver for Linux (this message goes to the people
here who uses Hercules Stingray 128/3D):
1. If you didn't know - an Xfree 3.3.1 driver for Stringray is available at
S.U.S.E (german Linux distributor) web site. www.suse.de
2. Glide for Rush: Well, it seems to be a VERY complicated task to port it.
Daryll (who is also porting this driver to Linux) told me that there will be
soon an Xfree servers 3.3.2 (4 is long away from now to come) and there
should be a driver for it (for the 3D part, as well as the current 2D
driver).
3. Mesa driver (an OpenGL clone) for Voodoo rush will come few weeks after
Xfree 3.3.2 for Voodoo rush.
Sincerely yours,
Hetz Ben Hamo
