TDFX(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual TDFX(4) 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 in- terface 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 Ban- shee, Voodoo3, Voodoo5, or Voodoo6 based cards. It also does not cur- rently support the Voodoo Rush. It also does not yet handle the SLI fea- ture of the Voodoo II boards. You can only use each of them separately. By including tdfx_linux, you can enable the linux ioctl code for this driver, where the only supported applications currently reside.
