There is a glide2 h3 tree. glide3 is all but useless in Linux (still)
since nothing uses it except Mesa in XFree4. h3 works on the Voodoo3 and
Voodoo Banshee. h5 only exists in glide3, however, so XFree4 is essential
to Voodoo5. XFree4 is still having its kinks worked out (I'm now running
it on aurora, which hasn't got a 3dfx card - I'll soon try it on trinity
which has a Voodoo3.. I'm waiting on Zeph and Branden first though..)
