Become a multimedia pro with the Vector Linux Multimedia Bonus Disc

10-07-2008 01:00 PM
Many audio, video, and graphics professionals would like to make the switch to Linux, but don't want to deal with the hassle of figuring out multimedia on Linux or are scared off by the purported lack of such tools. I created Vector Linux Multimedia Bonus Disc (MMBD) to address this problem and perception. It's a complete multimedia creation and production system that contains hundreds of the best multimedia applications available on Linux.

NAME

     tdfx -- Voodoo Graphics and VoodooII Memory Access GLIDE device driver

SYNOPSIS

     device tdfx
     device tdfx_linux

DESCRIPTION

     This driver creates an entry in /dev that allows programs (mostly GLIDE-based software) to access the device memory of the Voodoo Graphics
     and VoodooII 3D accelerators created by 3Dfx, Inc.  This provides an interface for applications based on the GLIDE API or that simply use the
     API provided by the linux /dev/3dfx device to use the video device.

     Supports all cards based on the following chipsets:

	   3Dfx Voodoo Graphics
	   3Dfx Voodoo II

     Specifically, the following cards should work:

	   Diamond Multimedia Monster 3D
	   Diamond Multimedia Monster 3D II

     Note that this driver does not currently have support for the Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3, Voodoo5, or Voodoo6 based cards.  It also does not
     currently support the Voodoo Rush.  It also does not yet handle the SLI feature of the Voodoo II boards.  You can only use each of them sepa-
     rately.

     By including tdfx_linux, you can enable the linux ioctl code for this driver, where the only supported applications currently reside.

FILES

     /dev/3dfx	   Symlinked to default 3dfx board
     /dev/3dfx*    Character Device programming interface

     /dev/voodoo   Mirrors of above interfaces
     /dev/voodoo*  (Some apps use /dev/voodoo)

HISTORY

     The tdfx driver appeared in FreeBSD 5.0, and was originally developed for Linux kernel 2.0.x, later written for 2.2.x and 2.4.x.

AUTHORS

     The driver was developed by Coleman Kane <cokane@micro.ti.com> after the linux version of this driver by Darryll Straus, John Taylor, Jens
     Axboe, Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com> and Joseph Kain <joseph@3dfx.com> to be directly compatible with it and support the many GLIDE based
     games available for Linux and UNIX.
