  you only need it for older X servers (version 3.X). it creates a
kernel module. the actual file /dev/3dfx you might need to create
yourself, there should be proper mknode command somewhere in
device3dfx-source documentation.

  for X 4.x you don't need 3dfx device. You need to compile tdfx (3dfx)
support into kernel though (ad use DRI in X), see:
