Thank you for this tip. The tests are now ok !

Where does the message "video memory unprotecting" come from ? How to
remove it ?

I have tried some GLUT demos. Few demos use mouse and menus are not
visible in 3DFX screen. The Readme say it's possible to render into an X
window with the help of the Voodoo 1 hardware with :

      export MESA_GLX_FX="window"     // to enable window rendering
      export SST_VGA_PASS=1   // to stop video signal switching
      export SST_NOSHUTDOWN=1 // to stop video signal switching
  
or voodoo 2 hardware with 

      export SSTV2_VGA_PASS=1   // to stop video signal switching
      export SSTV2_NOSHUTDOWN=1 // to stop video signal switching

But nothing for voodoo 3 hardware ...

How to do that with a voodoo 3 hardware ?
