Mesa-5.0-3mdk.ppc.rpm

Utah-GLX Hardware Driver for the NVIDIA RIVA series

This driver is based on source releases made by NVIDIA, and was 
apparently written mostly by David Schmenk. This version is basically the 
same with some cleanups and bug fixing. We do not have access to 
register documentation, so it is difficult to add features.

As such, the driver does not support DMA, and so is very slow relative 
to the full featured binary drivers available. If you are using Linux/x86
you are probably better off using Nvidia's new (binary only) drivers at
ftp://ftp1.detonator.nvidia.com/pub/drivers/english/XFree86_40/

This driver *REQUIRES* Xfree 3.3.6 and will not work with earlier 
versions.

The TNT, TNT2 and Geforce cards are reported to work. Others may or may 
not; try it and let us know.
