Hi,

I upgraded to Redhat 7.0 from 6.2. For 6.2, I used the special 
drivers for the Voodoo Banshee  from the 3Dfx web site.  X
worked fine. Since the upgrade to 7.0, I get noise spikes on 
the screen when I move windows and things eventually lock 
up. I configured using Xconfigurator and it recognized the 
card and monitor (Gateway VX700).  I suspect the problems 
may lie with the new version of XFreee86.

Has any one had any luck with this card? Or suggestions?
I checked the 3Dfx web site and did not find a new driver.

Thanks

Bob
