FWIW, quake-3dfx will not work with Utah GLX.. It's built using Mesa's
SVGALib target (which happens to also work with lib3dfxgl and Mesa's
include files---but I've not got (and am unlikely to get it would seem)
source for that..
3dfx says that Mesa a better OpenGL anyway so they'd rather their hackish
and incomplete lib3dfxgl just go away. The thing is completely evil,
unless you have a Voodoo1 and can use all the help you can get. =/
There are things we can do to improve Quake's GL performance in general
and Mesa+Glide in particular, but I have not as of yet learned how to use
vertex arrays (we'll get a BIG performance boost out of those says one of
the guys at 3dfx) and couldn't do it for the 0.1.0 release anyway, which
is currently frozen for release hopefully within a day or two. (No
promises but our todo list is small enough..)

<Overfiend> partycle: I seriously do need a vacation from this package.
I actually had a DREAM about introducing a stupid new bug
into xbase-preinst last night. That's a Bad Sign.
