Not sure if this'll help or not.. I had the same problem, ever after
re-compiling the Voodoo 3
DRM module. In the device section, I had to specifically state I was using a
Voodoo 3:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Voodoo3"
Driver "tdfx"
VendorName "3dfx"
EndSection
Now that I think about it, this may be mentioned in the Voodoo 3 section of
the DRI User's Guide
at dri.sourceforge.net.
