That's almost certainly a long-standing Mesa bug where they don't handle
glPushAttrib/glPopAttrib correctly.

But you can have *BOTH*.  You should be able to run (say) a GeForce-2 and
the Voodoo together.  If you installed only the GeForce's OpenGL and
ripped out Mesa altogether - then all OpenGL progs would drive the GeForce,
but GLIDE programs would still activate the Voodoo card and shut off the video
from the GeForce - just like it currently shuts off the video from your 2D card.

You'd get the best of both worlds!
