You might want to do exactly what they say and use "alien" to convert
the RPMs into DEBs then install them.
apt-get install alien
alien tdfx_dri-4.0.1-1.i386.rpm
alien tdfx_drm-1.0-3.src.rpm
alien Glide_V3-DRI-3.10-6.i386.rpm
dpkg -i Glide_V3-DRI-3.10-6.i386.deb
dpkg -i tdfx_drm-1.0-3.src.deb (i'm picking you'll have to build this
one after install)
dpkg -i Glide_V3-DRI-3.10-6.i386.deb
You might have to force the install as the packages, once converted, may
complain about dependencies.
Just a warning here in that if the you force the install of these
packages, ie. not dependency checking, then when uninstalling them you
will not be prompted to remove any of the un-needed packages.
