Hi.  I'm afraid that this question is a RTFM, but after doing so I'm
still feeling lost in the dark.

I'm running linux 2.2.17 with glibc-2.1.3 on a Pentium-II, with a 3dfx
Voodoo 3-2000 agp card.  I'd like to build and install X 4.0.2 from
source.  What drivers or other files do I need to accomodate my
graphics card?  I'm not a hard-core linux gamer, so I don't think I
need DRI.  (Am I mislead to have assumed this?)  I see all sorts of
drivers at http://linux.3dfx.com but I can't figure out which ones I
need.  Any guidance would be tremendously appreciated.

--Geoff
