There is an OpenGL driver for the Voodoo2. It started as the QuakeGL mini
driver (which I'm sure wouldn't work with Java 3D) and there is also a MESA
(100% OpenGL compatible driver). Check the 3dfx site for details.
However, the Voodoo2 will only accelerate graphics running in fullscreen
mode, in windowed mode it uses software support. Apparently you can force
Java 3D to run fullscreen but I have not tried it. Obviously you will loose
everything but the OpenGL window. You are also limited to the card
resolution of 800x600.
There is also a "hack" for the Voodoo2 that allows accelerated graphics in a
Window. The name of the software (OpenGL DLL replacement) escapes me but it
must copy frames to and from the video card memory to system memory, so
performance is significantly worse than running fullscreen. I can dig it out
if you are interested and cannot find it.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

Hi,
I'm not an expert and may be I could be wrong, but 3dfx boards support
directx and not opengl. So there is no way to accelerate opengl with
your board. You should use the implementation of java3D with directX

Hope tha helps.
David.
