K�vin,

There is an early development Banshee server for XFree86 that I have
found to be very stable (no crashes yet with a version from
early Feb.) on my sytem.

This server is being developed by Daryll Strauss, who to 3Dfx is the
single contact point for 3Dfx support under Linux, and who
has developed all the support for other 3Dfx cards under Linux. For
status on this server, and a link to the most recent version,
please see Daryll's status page at:

http://glide.xxedgexx.com/status.html

I'd certainly recommend giving the most recent development version of
this a try. It doesn't have 3-D support yet, or full 2-D
acceleration, but it is pretty fast and supports high resolutions with
lots of colors. I think you'll be rather pleased!
