Sure there is Linux support. These cards are 3Dfx-based cards. They are highend
Voodoo2 cards. For Linux support, go to http://www.linux3d.org/ . They will refer
you to this link http://www.linux3d.org/3DfxRPMS.html .
Keep in mind that Linux drivers aren't as mature as WindowsNT (which are not as
mature as IRIX :-). It is a question of time and ressources...yada yada yada
I've been using their Obsidian2 200SB and SBi, as well as their Mercury system for
some time now and they are quite impressive and reliable. The 200SB had some heating
problems but it has been fixed in the 200SBi.
regards, Sylvain
