What is the problem with AT3D/Voodoo Rush ™ boards?
There is an inherent problem when using Voodoo Rush ™ boards with Linux: Basically, these boards are meant to be VGA 2D/3D accelerator boards, either as a single board solution, or with a Voodoo Rush ™ based daughterboard used transparently. The VGA component tied to the Voodoo Rush ™ is a Alliance Semiconductor’s ProMotion-AT3D multimedia accelerator. To use this e.g. with XFree86 at all, you need a driver for the AT3D chipset. There is a mailing list on this, and a web site with FAQ at www.frozenwave.com/linux-stingray128. Look there for most current info. There is a SuSE maintained driver at ftp.suse.com/suse_update/special/xat3d.tgz. Reportedly, the XFree86 SVGA server also works, supporting 8, 16 and 32 bpp. Official support will probably be in XFree86 4.0. XFree86 decided to prepare an intermediate XFree86 3.3.2 release as well, which might already address the issues.
