Okay, that's /modules/tdfx.ko. AGP is just an extension of PCI.

That's bad (the glxinfo-part). Regarding GL-apps, you must be aware
that sometimes it is necessary to recompile them because they might have
been build the wrong way.

And that's the reason for the above errors: You should indeed have
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so around somewhere.
Poke around in the XFree-source-tree, if you didn't modify the
configuration, it might even simply not been built.

If you trust other people, I could put up my library at our webserver...
I'm cc: -multimedia again, maybe someone else wants to hit us with
a clue-bat.
