ah, so this worked?  I havent been able to get my voodoo 3 to work and I'd 
apriciate any pointers you might have on the subject.  I havent recompiled 
X yet, which is my next step.

AFAIK (speaking out of my other end here), the main gentoo developers seem 
to be Nvidia folks, so they dont seem to give much of a hoot about tdfx or 
DRM/DRI (which is fine and makes total sense).  If you can write a 
mini-HOWTO on this, that would be great.  

3dfx may be gone, but thier cards will linger for a while....I think a 
"3dfx" USE variable might be a good idea.....so X can compile properly 
when needed and such....hell, USE settings for all the popular chipsets 
might be worthwhile.....but, yalls a busy bunch....*shrug*
