You don't mention your kernel, you need to activate DRI under "Character devices", and don't remember if is necessary, anyway, you should choose to compile the "3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+" like a module. You need the xlibmesa3 and libglide3 packages (i'm using Sid, so have the xlibmesa3_4.0.2-13 and libglide3_2001.01.26-1 installed). You don't need anymore the /dev/3dfx device (but you aren't forced to remove if you have both XFree 3.3.6 and XFree 4.x installed). Check the X log (/var/log/XFree86.0.log), you will find the string "(II) TDFX(0): direct rendering enabled" if the dri is working... If quake3 don't work try with "./q3demo +set r_gldriver /usr/lib/libGL.so" to use the system libraries instead of the libraries provided with the game (libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.2). And remember, dri is cool, but it's a bit slower instead of only glide implementation... =) Adrea
