Can't get voodoo 2 to work with celestia! Help!

Post #1by Redfish » 05.08.2002, 20:45

When i run celestia on my pc it uses my old crappy diamond viper 330, with a whopping 4 MEGS of videomemory. Therefor i only run celestia at about 2 frames/sec.
I got a voodoo 2 though, but i never get it to work, is there a command line option or another way to use my voodoo with celestia?

And don't tell me to buy a new Graphics Card!

I'm not sure if you'll be able to get Celestia to work with a Voodoo 2 . . . The Voodoo2 can only run 3D applications full screen. You might want to try running it from the command line:

celestia -fullscreen

I think it will never support celestia...
AFAIK the Voodoo2 does NOT support OpenGL in any ways but is only accessible by Glide drivers. Sorry bud, you need a newer graphics card or stay with dia show ...
