Hello,
I was wondering if there was a possibility to get the TV-out on my old 3dfx Voodoo3 running?
I'm currently succesfully using the xf86-tdfx drivers.
I found;
http://www.realh.ukfsn.org/tvhowto/ar01s08.html
I downloaded the bt869 patch from http://sarijopen.student.utwente.nl/cal … l/patches/
I then followed the guide to where it says
cd /usr/src/linux/
patch -p1 < /path/to/downloaded/patch
I then get;
patching file drivers/i2c/chips/bt869.c
can't find file to patch at input line 774
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

So I get this error. What am I doing wrong? Btw I'm totally new at this patching.
Thx in advance!

patching is done to the kernel source, you will need to have the kernel sources installed. (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source)
furthermore, this patch was written for 2.6.27, arch is currently running 2.6.28-x. This doesn't mean the patch doesn't work per definition, but some work will need to be done to make it patch correctly to the new kernel.

Thx for the info.
I now followed the wiki. Downloaded the newest kernelsource and succesfully patched the kernelsource. I then build a package and am now trying to install that package, but again I get an error;

Does anyone have any idea what can cause this error? I tried searching the forum but couldn't come up with much.

Hi i have a voodoo 4500 with the tdfx driver running in xorg. it seems that my opengl acceleration is disabled. i tried with a game and also with HardInfo. The last one tell me that DirectRendering is disabled and the others opengl items are unknown. Why it is not working properly? Thanks.
PD: Sorry for my english

The work for 2.6.28 has been done and a patch for it is ready. Normally patches for new kernel releases are ready let's say 1 week after release, this one was a bit low on the TODO list.
