Yep, this is correct, v5 is for voodoo 4 and 5 (not that anyone's really
got a voodoo 4 ... what happened to them anyways?)
The current glide packages in debian are glide 2 packages, ie. version
2 of the Glide API. The X4 DRI implementation requires glide 3 libraries,
(which has only recently been released for linux), which is what I'm
ITP'ing. I'm not sure, but this may actually support voodoo 2 cards as
well (there is a voodoo 2 build tree in the upstream dist). If so,
I'll also build a libglide3-v2 package as well
Thanks,
