I have a working Voodoo3 card in both the Mac OS and YDL 2.1 on a G3
upgraded Performa 6360.
I flashed the card's ROM with version 12 of the beta drivers from
Voodoo. That makes the card's firmware recognize the fact that it is
in a Mac's PCI slot, and not a PC's.
I am running 8.6 on the 6360 at this time with 136 MB of RAM.
YDL started the XServer without a single hiccup. I get 800x600 at 16
bit color without trouble.
Not sure of which kernel. I am still using the stock YDL 2.1 kernels
included with the installer disk. It's the one that shows Tux the
Penguin with a Beer in his left fin.
Hope this helps. Prior to this I had to use a custom kernel argument
with BootX for YDL to use the Performa's stock Valkyrie card at
higher rez.
