Thank you very much, I did just that and found that DRI was not getting
enabled for the tdfx driver in X11.  I ended up having to run
system-config-display and set the color level to "Thousands of colors",
which set DefaultDepth to 16 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Now, Xorg.0.log shows
that DRI is enabled, and glxinfo shows:

OpenGL vendor string: VA Linux Systems, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Voodoo4 20061113 x86/MMX/SSE

I know this is a little outside of the scope of Mesa itself, but I really
appreciate the help!
