Howto /dev/3dfx ?



Hi List,

I am trying to set up a /dev/3dfx for my Voodoo-1-Card.

I followed the instructions on http://glide.xxedgexx.com/,
downloaded Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm, 
rpm2cpio'ed it, 
unpacked the resulting tar file,
typed "make" and copied the 3dfx.o file to 
/lib/modules/2.0.34/misc.

Then I edited /etc/conf.modules to include a line 
alias char-major-107 3dfx
and made the 3dfx-device with 
# mknod /dev/3dfx c 107 0

But after a reboot depmod and modprobe can't probe the 3dfx 
module. They claim, it's compiled for Kernel 2.0.33:

ROOT: # modprobe 3dfx
/lib/modules/2.0.34/misc/3dfx.o: kernel-module version mismatch
        /lib/modules/2.0.34/misc/3dfx.o was compiled for kernel version
	2.0.33
        while this kernel is version 2.0.34.

I tried to recompile the kernel (AMD-K6 is fast) twice, one with, 
one without CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but no success.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
