Actually, I get much better performance from my Voodoo3 with X4. For
some reason Debian doesn't include the DRI Glide drivers. You can download
an RPM from linux.3dfx.com. Its name Glide-v3-DRI, or something like that.
Convert it to a .deb using alien and it installs fine, nearly doubling your
framerate under X4.
