I had similar Problems installing my Voodoo3 with SuSE 6.2 ! But I
didn't solve them. 
Try using SuSE 6.4 if you can. Yast2 installs the accelerated X-Server
for the Voodoo3 automatic ! And it works (UnrealTournament etc.) !

Good luck,
Roland

The RPM was packaged for Redhat which have different library names
then SuSE. You will have to use the nodeps option, ie.:

	rpm -Uvh --nodeps foobar.rpm

A better idea is to download the packages from the SuSE site. They
have the X server that you need.

Charles

Do the following instead:

        rpm -Uhv --nodeps XFree86-SVGA-3.3.5-4.i386.rpm

        rpm -Uhv --nodeps XFree86-XF86Setup-3.3.5-4.i386.rpm

The --nodeps option will cause RPM to ignore any dependency issues it
finds.  Because you're not running a Linux distro which installs itself
by RPM, the RPM database on your computer doesn't know the fact that
you've actually already got glibc and such.

Hope that helps,
