IIRC, with X4.1.0, you should use the 2.6.0 kernerl or later......

Im running Debian with a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP on X4.1 with kernel 2.6.0 and
everything is working (though I get more lockups than with previous
versions of DRI)

> glxinfo tells me there's no direct rendering (and running gl programs backs this up).  When I run the glx xscreensavers fullscreen, the screen clears/flashes between each refresh if I'm in 16bps. I don't see this in 32bps or windowed modes.  I'm not in a location where I can try downloading the whole kit/kaboodle from CVS and recompiling it, but my understanding is that DRI comes in the X binary packages. 

IIRC, with 3dfx card you have to run X in 16bpp mode to get accel
working....
