Hi ... I am rather new to Linux and have just gotten things running
here.  I am running RedHat 6.1 and XFree86 with GNOME.  Here is my
dilemma ...

I visited http://linux.3dfx.com to find drivers/X server for my 3dfx
Voodoo3 card.  I downloaded the appropriate rpm file and ran the command
that the website told me to run (rpm -Uvh
XFree86-XF86Setup-3.3.5-4.i386.rpm).  This all went fine and I proceeded
to the next step which is to run XF86Setup to assist with setting up the
X Server.

Now is where I run into trouble.  I cannot get XF86Setup to let me
select a 3dfx server which is what this website tells me I need to do
("It's recommended that you run with the 3DFX X server.  Other X servers
may work, but there is no guarantee.")

I tried rebooting after I installed the rpm ... still no luck.  Please
tell me what I am doing wrong.
