Is the full source code to the driver available? Or is it written using the Glide libraries? If it is written using Glide, than it will be necessary to contact 3dfx and get Glide ported to PPC Linux before it can be ported. Otherwise, it's entirely possible. :)This ought to happen once someone gets a LinuxPPC machine to Darryl Strauss <http://glide.xxedgexx.com>.quoted
From all appearances we don't need to wait for Darryl to have supportfor 2-d acceleration in XFreee86. Here is what Darryl himself had to say in response to a post of mine in 3dfx.glide.linux:
XFree86 snapshot 3.9.16 will support the 3Dfx (Banshee and Voodoo3). Darryl
knows for sure, since he wrote the driver :-)
Just wait a few more days, or become an XFree86 beta tester and taste it now...
