Xfree86 support for Voodoo 3 acceleration

[Stephen Edie]

Is the full source code to the driver available?  Or is it written using
the Glide libraries?  If it is written using Glide, than it will be
necessary to contact 3dfx and get Glide ported to PPC Linux before it can
be ported.  Otherwise, it's entirely possible.  :)
