Not to me, since it finds more than one primary device so it doesn't know
which one to associate the driver with. Either try setting the BusID (see
man XF86Config for the format of the BusID statement; in PCI speak your
Voodoo3 has ID 1:0:0 (see below)) or if you happen to have an onboard
video chipset, disable it in the BIOS. So, first try adding BusID
"PCI:1:0:0" to the Device section of your XF86Config-4 file...

(II) Primary Device is:
^^^^^^^
(WW) TDFX: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found
^^ stands for Warning (see legend at the beginning of the file)
That's why the BusID is needed...
(EE) No devices detected.
At least not unambiguously as required per the man page!
Do you actually read the log completely before you judge it "looking
good"? Since when it actually looks good, also your screen should look
good, which it obviously doesn't and so in fact the log does NOT look
good... (A.k.a. NEVER ignore Warnings (even not compiler warnings))
Hope this helps,
Guy
