I don't see that listed in my Xconfigurator RPM. I snagged the file
from ftp://ftp.XFree86.org/pub/XFree86/binaries/Linux<something>/Xlib.tgz
after the fact. I let it set up as VGA and then edited the XFree86.config
file by hand. I used the devices directory to guess that I needed the
tdfx device for my Voodoo3, and copied over the monitor and Screen settings
from my old config file. I'm up and running and the performance increase
is very noticable.

True -- I forgot. I'd installed it not through the normal Mesa package,
but through the 3dfx package once.
Thanks!
