Are you sure there's no driver for it?  I could have swore I saw
Daryll Strauss mention some support for it on 3dfx.glide.linux.  I
know the Rush is supported, including for 3D in a window.

In any case, I think I read (on Slashdot?) that 3Dfx is going to be
supporting Linux directly sometime soon, so maybe he'll be able to use
the card before it is out of date.  :-)
