Download the Linux Glide drivers from the 3DFX site. This has nothing to do
with Redhat.
The drivers are distributed by 3dfx... The X drivers are a different beast
altogether...
Also make sure you have the Mesa-3DFX extensions loaded, grab these from the
Mesa site...

See Kernel.org, but I'll bet not...

You are probably using the modem in PNP mode. Either disable the modem's use
of PNP configuration thru the jumpers, or use /etc/isapnp.conf to make sure
Linux enables the modem's com port at startup, prior to probing the serial
devices...
