| 302 | 2 | 1999-05-16 23:44:14 | <a href="mailto:gerrit.holl@pobox.com">Gerrit Holl</a> is seeking Dutch speaking volunteers to help with his <a href="http://linuxgames.nl.linux.org">Dutch Linux gaming site</a>. Gerrit says: <blockquote>The Dutch Linux gaming site is the center for everything about games on Linux in Dutch. You can go there is you need howtos, reviews, links or news, and more follows. I wished it become greater, but it's too much for one person who also has to go to school. So I _really_ need Dutch speaking people to help me: please have a look at <A HREF="http://linuxgames.nl.linux.org/">linuxgames.nl.linux.org</A> and decide if you're interested. You can also send a mail to <A HREF="mailto:linuxgames@nl.linux.org">linuxgames@nl.linux.org</A>. </blockquote> | Hulp nodig! | default | |

| 308 | 2 | 1999-05-17 11:14:22 | <a href="mailto:daryll@harlot.rb.ca.us">Daryll Strauss</a> has updated his <a href="http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS_vb_glibc.html">Voodoo 3/Banshee</a> driver page to include an intial release of Glide for these chipsets! If you've got a Voodoo Banshee or a Voodoo 3 card and you're feeling adventurous, go check them out. Remember, this is the first release and only full screen 3D is supported so far. Expect bugs and instability. However, Daryll does note that the drivers appear to run <a href="show?q3test">Q3Test</a> correctly. The <a href="news://news.3dfx.com/3dfx.glide.linux">3dfx newsgroup</a> is the proper place to go for help with these drivers.
