Does anyone here have a 264DP alpha? If so, which graphics card are you using? I'm wondering what's the best card for accelerated 3D that works with SRM and with x.org on the 264DP.

TIA!

I am using UP2000+ as DP264 by firmware update.

Some vgas was tested on board, Voodoo3 3000, Voodoo5 5500, Millenium2, G550.

All vgas worked fine. but, G550 is best for alpha.

Below link is vga compitible table for alpha on Tru64 UNIX.

dri.sourceforge.net indicates that the ATI Radeon is the only 3D accelerated card on Alpha platform. I currently have a matrox millenium2 which is just too old and slow. I've got a PCI Radeon 9100 on it's way, so I'm going to give that a try and see if I can get accelerated 3D working....

Lupin, do you have dri working?

No I dont. I've got a PCI Radeon 9100 now but my 264DP alpha has been non-functional for a little while. Power supply was no good and replacements are basically impossible to find, so I'm having to put together something custom to provide power to the beast.

Once I get it up and running I'll post back here...
