- FreeBSD support is not currently being maintained and may not
work.
For 3dfx Voodoo3 hardware, you'll also need:
- Glide3x headers and runtime library if you want to use the
3dfx driver.
These can be obtained from
linux.3dfx.com.
- A recent Linux 2.4.x kernel. AGP support is not required.
For Matrox G200/G400 hardware, you'll also need:
- A recent Linux 2.4.x kernel with AGP support.
For Intel i810 hardware, you'll also need:
