Sorry to hear you haven't been getting useful help on the NG. I've been over XF86Config-4 and XFree86.x.log, and I can't see anything blatantly wrong in either of them, so I'm as lost as you are trying to find this bug. I hope this anti-3dfx zealotry isn't mandrakesoft's official position. A lot of us can't affort to run out and buy the latest and greatest video card every 6 months, and the voodoo still works very well, given the right drivers.
