  yes, it's vital. it's under character devices, the last section,
enable Direct Rendering Manager and then you can enable 3dfx (I build
most of the stuff as modules). you need 2.4 kernel for that.

  if you don't know yet: use make-kpkg to build and install kernel and
modules. The docs are pretty clear, however you want to use epoch (see
--revision) so that your kernel is not replaced by debian kernel.

Um, I have been compiling kernels with DRI and VooDoo 3 driver. It won't 
work! I can't find the tdfx driver in there though .. is it vital? will it 
help? Where do I find it in make xconfig (what category?..)

Thanks,

 i recommend you do the same.
 
 that is all i can offer.

bub, there is only one way outta thisand i learned the slightly harder 
but CORRECT way...you have to make a nice new kernel. i don't care what 
anyone says...nothing, but nothing, compares.

what version of X? Glide with unreal tournament ONLY works
under Xfree 3.3.6.

try running the test3Dfx program that usually comes with
the 3dfx tools/drivers. also be sure your running X in
16bit color, voodoor requires it.
