I've used the same card recently. 3dfx has a link on their site under drivers
to the site http://glide.xxedgexx.com which has the RPM's you will need to
download. I downloaded the following:
Glide_V3-2.60-6.i386.rpm
Device3Dfx-2.2-3.src.rpm This is optional but recommended
XFree86_3DFX-SVGA-3.3.3-5.i386.rpm
XFree86_3DFX-XF86Setup-3.3.3-5.i386.rpm
I did:
rpm -Uvh Glide_V3-2.60-6.i386.rpm
for the next command you need the C compiler/libs to be installed
rpm --rebuild Device3Dfx-2.2.-3.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i386/Device3Dfx-2.2-3.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh XFree86-SVGA-3.3.3-5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh XFree86-XF86Setup-3.3.3-5.i386.rpm
You can't use Xconfigurator to setup X anymore. Use XF86Setup. On the card page
it will have the Voodoo cards listed.
The one problem I had was I entered the Vert. & Horiz. specs for my
monitor(Viewsonic 15GS) and when I ran X the display was not stable. I had to
run XFSetup again and choose 1024x768 at 70Hz for the monitor then I had no
problems running at 1024x768 with 16bit color.
