Ok, now I see things a bit clearer. I think (and hope) this is also possible with a 2.2. kernel. I found CONFIG_DRM and CONFIG_DRM_TDFX in the character devices section of the kernel configuration. Is that the same or equivalent what you have in your 2.4 kernel? I did not compile these options in my 2.2.19 kernel at the time because I didn't know what it was. And what about the device3dfx-source package? Is that needed for hardware accelleration or DRI? From the Makefile it appears that it compiles a module called 3dfx.o. What's that?
