3Dfx HOWTO (The Linux)

Published on 1998-02-06, by Bernd Kreimeier, ©Bernd Kreimeier.

This document describes 3Dfx graphics accelerator chip support for Linux^TM. It lists some supported hardware, describes how to configure the drivers, and answers frequently asked questions.

ATI Linux Display Driver v8.14.13

Published on 2005-06-09, by Michael Larabel, ©Phoronix.

Earlier in the day ATI™ released their new Catalyst 5.6 drivers. These new Windows drivers offer such new features as mobile support, an improved Catalyst Control Center (CCC), re-vamped Catalyst AI for gamers, and several other intuitive features. However, we wouldn't be bringing you this article if there wasn't anything to share about the Linux side of things. Today we have a look at the entirely new ATI Linux driver installer and ATI Control Panel.

ATI Radeon Howto

Published on 2004-01-08, by Michael Ramke, ©Michael Ramke.

I wrote this howto because I own an ATI Radeon™ card and wanted to use it under Linux with 3D support. Since I missed some functions like anti aliasing and because the documentation is rather bad I started my own extensive investigation on the web and in newsgroups. Unfortinately most results were rather poor and and a real documentation didn't seem to be present.

After I saw that many people have problems with the ATI™ drivers I had made my own experiences by now I decided to write this howto.

This version of the howto features a new design and an own mascot which was most kindly designed and provided by Michael Prager - many thanks.

Going 3D with Blender: A toy train

Published on 2003-09-18, by Katja Socher, ©LinuxFocus.

In this second article in our series about modeling with Blender we create a little toy train. We assume that you have read the first article Going 3D with Blender™: Very first steps and built that little stage yourself as we are now using it as our starting point.

Going 3D with Blender: Very first steps

Published on 2003-09-17, by Katja Socher, ©LinuxFocus.

This is the start of a series of articles where we will discuss some modeling (and later perhaps also some animation) techniques to get you started with Blender™, a phantastic open source tool for going 3D. In this first article we will just touch the very basics and build a stage setting that we will then use as a starting point for our next articles.

NVIDIA CoolBits For Linux Guide

Published on 2005-06-04, by Michael Larabel, ©Phoronix.

A few months ago here at Phoronix we published an article entitled The State of Linux™ NVIDIA™ Overclocking, which expressed our views of the overclocking options available, or there the lack of, to Linux™ NVIDIA™ users. Up until this time, NVClock has been one of the only utilities available to overclock your NVIDIA™ based graphics card under Linux™, without using a BIOS editor. However, when we last tested the NVClock 0.8 CVS we still experienced several problems when paired up with some of our latest NVIDIA™ 6XXX and FX graphics cards. Although Thunderbird has done a phenomenal job, and continues to do a magnificent job developing NVClock, there still is a lack of overclocking options available for NVIDIA™ Linux™ users. NVIDIA™, however, has released its new drivers that include some interesting features. In addition to Xinerama™ and OpenGL™ 2.0 support, CoolBits also accompanies this latest package. For those who haven't heard of or never used CoolBits, this is a NVIDIA™ overclocking utility for Microsoft Windows™ (until now) which could be enabled by a simple registry tweak and allows the user to substantially increase their VPU and memory speeds. However, does this CoolBits Linux™ port offer the reliability of its Windows™ counterpart and fix the issues that NVClock has yet to address? Today we have a short guide on how to enable CoolBits with these new NVIDIA™ drivers (1.0-7664), how to change your core and memory speeds, and the results we obtained when using the CoolBits utility.
