Its possible to write a DRI driver layer for the Voodoo1/Voodoo2
X server. Nobody has done so and I can't see anyone bothering given
the age of the cards and the complexity required to handle all the
locking and verification constraints the hardware has.

A more practical approach would probably be to add server side 
hardware rendering facilities to the rendering code in the X
server. That is pretty much essential for the very old cards which
are not designed to work with direct rendering.
