I have the Banshee card and was able to load 3dfx
driver, SVGA driver, and XF86 Setup from the
3dfxgamers site on my "updated" slink install and had
it working fine w/ slink. They also translated well to
the upgrade to potato w/ 2.2.12 kernel.
To circumvent the rpm only nature of the drivers I
used alien e.g.:
=>alien -d Device3Dfx-2.3-1.src.rpm
Then used dpkg to install e.g.:
=>dpkg -i Device3Dfx-2.3-1_all.deb
Other than the package conversion and non-rpm
command line install I followed the instructions for
the installation that were posted on the package
download page and have not had a problem. Hope it goes
the same for you.
