Ok...typically RPM files (RedHat Package Manager) are
installed (as root) by typing "rpm -Uvh <filename.rpm>" or
"rpm -ivh <filename.rpm>".
Ok...just back from visiting the site Steve suggested. The
files there are RPM files. You will need to save these
files to disk and then log in as root in another console
(or, if in X, open a "root console" window) and type "rpm
-ivh XFree86_3DFX-SVGA-3.3.3-5.i386.rpm" followed by your
"enter" key. Do the same for the other two RPM files. If
you get an error that they are already installed, try "rpm
-Uvh" (notice the CAPITAL "U".)
Then, you'll need to re-run your xf86config or XF86Setup
(please notice the upper/lower case names, otherwise,
you'll get an error) and re-select your video card. some
folks swear by xf86config, others by XF86Setup. Your choice.
