alt Hacker NewsMy first video card.
Getting it working in linux in ~1999 was really not easy, especially for a teenager with no linux experience.
My networking card wasn't working either, so I had to run to a friend's house for dial-up internet access, searching for help on Altavista.
Very cool project. Way above my head, still!
I exhausted my teenage savings to buy the Voodoo 1 due to the Linux support. Granted, I was running Red Hat at the time so the installation consisted of installing what, two RPMs? Played a lot of Q3 and Unreal on that card.
