YES YES YES! It will work! I have a Voodoo3 Card working on my Beige G3/266.
It willl work! Stop whining. If you are using 2.2.x kernels, you've got to
manually patch the kernel, since the code isn't in there. If you are running
2.4.x kernels, you won't have to. Sheesh. There's a page about getting this
setup going at http://v.favrenicolin.free.fr/linuxppc/linuxppc-tdfx.php3
