XFree86-4 has been updated to the newest version. It has a kld named tdfx.ko that must be installed into /modules/. When you load X, it will load dri, agp, and tdfx all for you. There is also a 3dfx.ko to work with /dev/3dfx. This is provided to support device accesses for glide programs, like quake3 and all. It currently has some issues with the Voodoo3 and Banshee hardware, but I could use another tester. It is part of -CURRENT, and will most likely panic your box, but some output sent to me about the crash would be helpful. Actually, if anyone has an old agp 3dfx card they'dl ike to donate for this development, it would be helpful. I have been testing it with my voodoo2 board with much success, but I have had some responses from users with Voodoo3's that say that they haven't gotten it to work. Nawfal M.
