+Info for Mesa 4.1
+-----------------
+
+The 3dfx Glide driver in Mesa is disabled by default. Not too many people
+use this driver anymore and at some point down the road it will be dropped.
+
+To use/enable the Glide driver either do this:
+
+'./configure --with-glide=DIR' Where DIR is the location of Glide, like
+ /usr/ or /usr/local

The Voodoo2 requires the Glide library 2.51. The Glide 3.1 is not

- It's nice to have two monitors - one for your normal graphics
card and one for your 3Dfx card. If something goes wrong with
an application using the 3Dfx hardware you can still see your
