3. Prerequisites

You'll need the following:

The DRI 3D drivers generally work on systems with Intel or AMD CPUs. However, limited support for Alpha and PowerPC support is underway.

For 3dfx Voodoo hardware, you'll also need the Glide3 runtime library (libglide3-v3.so for Voodoo3 or libglide3-v5.so for Voodoo4/5). These can be downloaded from the DRI website. You can compile them yourself, but it's often a painful process.

For Matrox G200/G400, Intel i810/i830 or ATI Rage128/Radeon hardware, you'll also need AGP support in your Linux kernel, either built-in or as a loadable module.
