I never did get it working in the 2.2 kernel. I found all the
documentation confusing as hell. But, I recall reading that it was done via a
3dfx device that needed to be created on the system.
Oh wait, here it is. With X4, apparently the 3dfx device is not necessary.
See here.

But if you're running XFree 3.3.X, then you need the 3dfx device. The
details are apparently at
