3dfx & openGL? what do I need? (kernel 2.4, X 4.x)

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  I checked the debian planet, newsgroups etc and it looks like it
should be working but it's not, here's the message that I get when I run
glxinfo (or some GL program, e.g. atlantis of xscreensaver fame):

jojda:~>glxinfo
gd error (glide): Can't find or access Banshee/V3 board
fx Driver: ERROR no Voodoo1/2 Graphics or Voodoo Rush !
display: :0.0  screen:0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: Brian Paul

 here's what I have installed:

  kernel modules:

jojda:/home/erik# lsmod|grep tdfx
tdfx                   52656   0 

  libraries:

un  libglide-dev   <none>         (no description available)
un  libglide2      <none>         (no description available)
un  libglide2-dev  <none>         (no description available)
ii  libglide2-v3   2.60-6         Graphics library for Voodoo Banshee
and Vood
pn  libglide2-vg   <none>         (no description available)

cards
ii  libglide3-dev  2001.01.26-1   development files for libglid

  for some reason I cannot uninstall libglide2 because:

jojda:/home/erik# apt-get remove libglide2-v3

  looks like this one uses glide2, why do I have glide3 then? what's the
deal?

  also: is 3dfx.o now obsolete?

  TIA
