I currently have it plugged into one of the 5V/32bit slots which may or may not be optimal. Anyways, 1. Linux Kernel 2.4.19-pa2 sstfb Voodoo1/2 framebuffer Well, the kernel compiled with the sstfb without any errors. When I booted I got a black and white checkerboard pattern on the Voodoo2 monitor. I had disabled the stifb console, thinking that the kernel might pick the sstfb for a console, but it didn't. Just blankness for a while, then a checkerboard pattern. I think this is encouraging and I think it is working. I'm currently recompiling and will post some more news later as I experiment some more with it. Next I will try and put a console on the sstfb or even try running X on it. 2. glide3-alpha-0.cvs.20010711 This is the Debian source for Glide3 on the Alpha arch, which is also big-endian. Initial compilation failed in multiple places about missing sys/io.h which I have located a file of that name in /usr/include/asm. I'll see if I can figure out how best to correct this and try again.
