Phoenix AGP Voodoo PROBLEMS!
Hello to all!
I've just installed Linux Mandrake 6.0 on my NT box. I have a Phoenix Maxi Gamer 16MB 3dfx AGP card, and I have a HP A4033 20" monitor that Linux doesn't support. I've chosen the "Not listed" video adapter, and then chose SVGA X-server, and I've tried every resolution I could choose. After I'm done with all of this I get a screen that is absolutely HUGE 75x75 resolution when I go into KDE or Gnome. I've spent countless hours trying to get my resolutions at 1024x768, but I can't see anything due to the blownup resolution. If someone has any info that will allow me to get a higher resolution. PLEASE HELP! I've checked into the 3dfx-glide.linux newsgroups, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to load in Daryls Strauss's X-server. I'm hoping there is an easier method. IF not, I would greatly appreciate a detailed instruction set on installing the new X-server for the voodoo cards.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the answer, considering this is new ground for me. How do I run an X config program? All I need is to be able to see what I'm doing in KDE or Gnome. Something like a resolution of 1024x768 with 24Bit color would be an ideal situation. Please let me know your ideas.
Thanks
