<p class="Pp">This driver creates an entry in <span class="Pa">/dev</span> that
allows programs (mostly
<a class="permalink" href="#GLIDE-based"><i class="Em" id="GLIDE-based">GLIDE-based
software</i></a>) to access the device memory of the Voodoo Graphics and
VoodooII 3D accelerators created by
<a class="permalink" href="#3Dfx,"><i class="Em" id="3Dfx,">3Dfx,
Inc</i></a>. This provides an interface for applications based on the
<a class="permalink" href="#GLIDE"><i class="Em" id="GLIDE">GLIDE
API</i></a> or that simply use the API provided by the linux
<span class="Pa">/dev/3dfx</span> device to use the video device.</p>
<p class="Pp">Supports all cards based on the following chipsets:</p>

<li id="3Dfx~2"><a class="permalink" href="#3Dfx~2"><i class="Em">3Dfx Voodoo

</ul>
<p class="Pp">Specifically, the following cards should work:</p>

<ul class="Bl-item Bd-indent Bl-compact">
<li id="Diamond"><a class="permalink" href="#Diamond"><i class="Em">Diamond
Multimedia Monster 3D</i></a></li>
<li id="Diamond~2"><a class="permalink" href="#Diamond~2"><i class="Em">Diamond
Multimedia Monster 3D II</i></a></li>
</ul>
<p class="Pp">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
separately.</p>
<p class="Pp">By loading the <code class="Nm">tdfx_linux.ko</code> and
<code class="Nm">linux.ko</code> modules, you can enable the linux ioctl
code for this driver, where the only supported applications currently
reside.</p>
