yes, that could be your problem.  SBLive cards typically share IRQ's
well but 3dfx cards and linux do not.  There are a few ways for you to
fix this confilict:

1. Some BIOS will allow you to change IRQ's on a slot by slot basis so
you could simply assign a free irq to one of the devices.  I'd change
the SBLive I think.

2. Move one of the cards to a different slot.  Be aware that typically
AGP slots share irq's with the first PCI slot below them and that last
PCI slots typically share with USB controllers.

Good Luck!
