[oclug] XFree86 4.0.2

I download the latest XFree86 and installed it on SuSE linux 7.0. Since 
then OpenGL is lost and Netscape fails.

I upgraded my version of XFree86 in an attempt to get my Voodoo3 3000 
working. The atlantis test screen saver worked but test3Dfx would freeze 
after it was run (in XFree 4.0). From another list I learned that one 
person got their Voodoo3 running under XFree86 4.0.2 while another under 
XFree 3.3.6 (but failed under XFree 4.0 which comes with SuSE 7.0). When I 
try XFree86 3.x using sax, the Xserver fails completely. The whole purpose 
of the exercise is to get the Flight Gear flight simulator off the ground.

What should I do with the Xserver? Any thoughts on how to get the Voodoo 3 
3000 working?  I've spent enough time that even the name of good Linux shop 
that might fix this would be appreciated. ;)

Thanks,
Fred Brown
