I'm not sure where to post this as I subscribe to many of the Darwin lists... however I thought as the problems and solutions where mainly kernel related I would start my quest here. I have recently changed my video card from an ATI Rage 128 ( that came in my G4 ) to a 3DFX Voodoo 4 as the fan was knackered and the replacement came free - long story - however since I changed them over I have lost Linux ( no biggie ) and my Darwin install makes a mess of the screen, making it impossible to work with. Now the strange thing is when I boot off my Jaguar partition in verbose mode ( -v ) I get the same mess on the screen until I get to the login and then the screen goes back to normal. Jaguar works fine, well there is no acceleration ( don't know if there should be .... ) and DVD Player.app doesn't work and it is a lil slow ( oh.. I've already said that ) but it works .... When I drop into Darwin ( using ">console" at login ) Darwin appears to be running fine with the card. What I am wondering is, should I reinstall Darwin, would that fix the problem ? There is a chance that Darwin will not work with the card as it is, I don't know. The other thing is, what differences exist between Jaguar and Darwin as far as display drivers go ? The last thing is that I know there are quite a few people who have 3DFX cards who have had problems since upgrading ( the driver is pre OS X ) and are after a driver, a few people have talked about doing it but no one has, well not according to the searches I've done, there was a beta ( I think ) at a .mac site, but alas has disappeared ( as have a lot of .mac sites ... strange ;) ). What I am wanting to know is, does anyone know anything about writing a video driver in Darwin / OS X or writing a 3DFX driver in general, as I am not above getting my hands dirty and attempting one ( how bad can it be ? ). Of course I think I might jus have to put my hand in my pocket and buy a new card, rather than use an unsupported card.
