This driver has a special requirement that needs to be fulfilled before it will work: you need Glide installed. At the time of this writing, it may be found at . Also, you need to tell the X server where the libglide2x.so file is placed by making a soft link in the moduledir directory (usually /usr/lib/xorg/modules) that points to the libglide2x.so file. For example, if your libglide2x.so file is in /usr/lib): # ln -s /usr/lib/libglide2x.so If you have installed /dev/3dfx, the driver will be able to turn on the MTRR registers (through the glide library) if you have a CPU with such registers (see ). This will speed up copying data to the Voodoo board by as much as 2.7 times and is very noticeable since this driver copies a lot of data... Highly recommended.
