Voodoo3 GFX *issue*
« on: December 13, 2008, 04:15:34 PM »
I already have read again an old thread of mine where I found problem letting recognize the Voodoo 3 gfx.

The point now is I did the installation over and over againg with no luck. And according my old thread would be better checking if the Voodoo is recognized because I am still having: Attach to NO Board into Picasso96Mode.
So I tried to type pciinfo in the shell but it says cannot open pci.library.

I do have pci.libary into libs so what should I do?

Thanks in Advance

You could try reseating/reinserting the card in the Mediator slot or changing the order of PCI cards in the Mediator. It shouldn't matter but it sometimes does.

You might check that you have the latest pci.library but I doubt there is anything wrong with it. The pci.library won't open if it doesn't find anything interesting. I have had it fail to open as well with Mediator and cards plugged in. My problem is on a warm 4000T after reboot so wouldn't help you. It does show how common poor grounding or old caps can cause problems though.

it's strange that some months ago I could show my cards with pciinfo and now with the same library I cannot see anything bcoz the library doesn't work.

The Mediator in my 4000T worked great for some time before it started acting up. I tried all the reseating and card shuffling tricks and it didn't help. I tried both Revision 9 and 11 Buster and still no help. I tried a Voodoo 3 and Voodoo 4 and no help. I thought my Mediator had died but I tried in my 3000T with the same accelerator card as was in the 4000T and the Mediator works fine.

The latest pci.library is 6.8 I believe.

*Sorted Out*

it is the Mediator PCI that is fussy.

To let the Voodoo recognized I had to set:

Memory Window      4 MB

Config             Closed

Wait               Open

Wake-Up            Open


Thanks God!
