This is a combination of a Linux kernel module and a video output
driver, similar to mga_vid.
You'll need a 2.4.x kernel with the agpgart
driver since tdfx_vid uses AGP.
Pass --enable-tdfxfb to configure
to build the video output driver and build the kernel module with
the following instructions.
Installing the tdfx_vid.o kernel module:
Compile tdfx_vid.o:
cd drivers make
Then run (as root)
make install
which should install the module and create the device node for you. Load the driver with
insmod tdfx_vid.o
To make it load/unload automatically when needed, first insert the following line at the end of /etc/modules.conf:
alias char-major-178 tdfx_vid
There is a test application called tdfx_vid_test in the same directory. It should print out some useful information if all is working well.
