    again, can you post the
    lspci

    it seems that
    kxconfig
    has support for
    3Dfx Voodoo3/5&banshee
    so if you have an earlier I or II, you might be out of luck if it won't backwardly compatiblilise.

    in
    kxconfig
    there is a

    Generic - tdfx
    have you seen/tried that one ?

    Knoppix with The Voodoo3, Yes!

    I had to ditch my Kyro II card when I started dual booting XP and Knoppix. Poor orphan thing. heh, heh.

    My older card was a Voodoo3. I'm not a gamer, so I said "What the heck."
    At the most I play Gtan or solitaire.

    And so.... I put the old card back in. This time though I added a fan I had laying around from a heatsink/fan combo I wasn't using and overclocked the sucker up to 205 mhz. Whoa!

    I used the generic Linux driver as the previous post has pointed you to and found some tricked out 3rd party drivers for XP.

    I would also suggest doing an Apt-get install Synaptic:

    Synaptic is a GUI version of Apt-Get and once you've installed it, you can do a search on Voodoo 3 related files and libraries. Glide is supported in Linux and is easily installed.

    Anyway, the old card works great. Good luck.
