    Dammmnn and blast !!!!

    I've just bought me a brand new computer (AMD 2800XP).

    I also bought a Voodoo 5500 AGP 64Mb video card from off the internet.

    I come to assemble them, and the card does not fit the slot.

    I obviously need to buy another card.

    I want to play "Enemy Territory" for Linux on this machine. This uses
    open - gl

    After searching several internet sites, it seemed that the Voodoo was
    the card to go for, obviously its not !

    Can anyone advise me on which video card I should be buying and where
    to get one from.

    My motherboard is an Asrock K7S8XE with an AGP video slot.

    I want to use X gui, Enemy Territory for Linux, and other open GL
    software. I also wish to run a windows virtual machine and wine.

    I want a video card that has Linux drivers available, and uses the
    cards 3d accellerator hardware.

    I am very interesting in hearing from someone who has enemy territory
    working on Linux.

    Any advise guys ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mark.
