Does Voodoo make really good cards ? I've never gotten the chance to use one ... I hate using the non-free nVidia drivers, (especially since a kernel bug in FC5 prevents non-GPL kernel modules from being installed)
cymon:
The voodoo was a series of chipsets, made by 3Dfx, who are now defunct. They're getting old now, but the Voodoo 3 works great in DRI, with Glade and Mesa, like M' OBrian said.

yup voodoo got bought up by nVidia around ~2000. I think their last card was the voodoo 5, i think it had something like 4 GPUs on it.
H_TeXMeX_H:
Crap ... are there any good cards that are not nVidia or ATI that have HW accel without the need for non-free drivers ?

Some people might actually think this bug is a good thing, I wonder what piratePenguin thinks.
