3Dlabs Permedia 2 Linux Drivers

[Dbest]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some Linux drivers for the 3Dlabs Permedia 2 and haven't got any luck. If someone knows where to find me please direct me to them . I'm looking for Red Hat Alpha 7.2 drivers, any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Please note that this is an Alpha CPU based system .

hi dbest - xfree86 supports it out of the box - here is a quote - so you should just be able to load the xfree86 that came with you rh for alpha - i think it had xfree86 version 4.2. you may wish to upgrade to xfree86 4.3.0 and compile it yourself.

3.3.6:

Support (including acceleration) for GLINT 500TX (with IBM RGB526 RAMDAC), GLINT MX plus Delta or Gamma (with IBM RGB526 and RGB640 RAMDACs), Permedia with IBM RGB526 RAMDAC, and Permedia 2, 2a, 2v is provided by the XF86_3DLabs server.
4.3.0:

Support (including acceleration) for the Permedia series (including 1, 2, 2a, 2v, 3, and 4) and GLINT series (including 300SX, 500TX, MX, R3 and R4) with the Gamma, Gamma2 or Delta coprocessor is provided by the "glint" driver.
Summary:

All hardware supported in 3.3.6 is also supported in 4.3.0. The Permedia 3, Permedia 4, GLINT R3, GLINT R4 and Gamma2 are supported only in 4.3.0
