I've had several people tell me that 6.1 and Xfree86 3.3.5
will support the V3, they're prob'ly right. Yes, Mdk 6.0 came
with XF 3.3.3
Here's how I did it tho:
On your 6.0 CD under /apps/3dfx, there's the .rpm's to install
the 3dfx server. Just 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm', then from a console,
type 'XF86Setup', pick Voodoo 3-2000 (I've got one, but I chose
-3000, hopin it will o/c it to 166mhz :), choose your monitor spec,
and you're all set, type 'startx' :) I run mine at 1024x768x24
and the 2d is better than in W98.
If you'd like to visit the web page that www.3dfx.com | V3 |
Drivers | Linux, will send you to for instructions, it's:

One last bit of advice, whether you o/c it or not, put a $2
'486' fan on the V3's heatsink, you'll be glad you did, 3dfx
should'a. Good luck
