I don't know of a HOWTO, but I have a functioning XFree86-4 setup with
a Voodoo3 and 2.4 kernel. It was hell to get going (due to the
aforementioned lack of HOWTO), but I did get it to work.

What does `glxinfo` report? The beginning should say something like:
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
Note that you should be running at 1024x768@ 16bpp for maximum 3D
performance on the Voodoo3.
Give that a shot, and let me know if you want a peek at my configs.
I'm afraid it's been too long for me to remember how to set this stuff
up from scratch, but hopefully I can still help.
Also, check the list server archives from the past 18 months. There
have been other posts about DRI on the Voodoo 3.
