3DLabs Oxygen GVX1

3DLabs Oxygen GVX1

Post by Nicholas Hildret » Sun, 29 Oct 2000 14:02:11



Hi,
  I am also looking for a similar solution. I haven't been able to get my
Oxygen card to work in any graphics mode except 640x480 from the SVGA
driver. I am not against re-installing 3.3.6 if this is known to get some
results. Anyone have any ideas? Oddly enough the mouse pointer is often
visible when it is trying to activate a graphics mode.

Cheers,
Nicholas.

This board is not based on the Permedia 3, and, afaik, is not supported
under XFree (except possibly via the framebuffer).  For such a nice card,
I'd shell out the $$ for Xi Graphics' fully 3D accelerated drivers.  Check

1. 3DLabs Oxygen GVX1 support

I'm trying to convert my workstation at work to a Linux box,
the biggest obstacle seems to be the graphics card, a
3DLabs Oxygen GVX1. I've tried both XFree86 3.3.6 and 4.0.1 but
I couldn't get it to work (using the glint or Oxygen mx driver).
I'm currently using the framebuffer driver so at least I can
use X but I'd like to be able to use vmware and that requires
an accelerated driver so is there support for this card?

Thanks,
