==========================================================================
This is a Slackware Linux repackaged version of Glide. It was put together
by David Cantrell (david@slackware.com) with sources obtained from

        http://linux.3dfx.com/

Please refer to the original Glide license file that accompanies each vg*
package. It is in /usr/doc/Glide3/.
==========================================================================

This directory contains packages for adding 3Dfx support to Slackware. All
of the packages in this directory can be installed using the "installpkg"
command.  Refer to the man page for installpkg for more information.

More information regarding the packages is below the table.

So what packages do you need to install? Here's a table of what's what:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------
   PACKAGE      | DESCRIPTION
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
   vg-glide.tgz | Glide for Voodoo Graphics based boards
   v2-glide.tgz | Glide for Voodoo 2 based boards
   v3-glide.tgz | Glide for Voodoo 3/Banshee based boards
   vr-glide.tgz | Glide for Voodoo Rush based boards
   v3-dri.tgz   | Glide 3.x with DRI support for the Voodoo3/Voodoo Banshee
   sdk2x.tgz    | Only if you plan on compiling software to use
                | the Glide 2.x rasterization library
   sdk3x.tgz    | Only if you plan on compiling software to use
                | the Glide 3.x rasterization library
   mesagl.tgz   | Mesa 3.2 compiled with support for Glide
   fxt1.tgz     | Command line Advanced Texture Compression utilities
   xtdfx.tgz    | XFree86 DRI server for the Voodoo3/Voodoo Banshee
   desktop.tgz  | A demo program (only for Voodoo3/Banshee cards).
   donut.tgz    | A demo program.
   surf.tgz     | A demo program.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

Voodoo 3 and Voodoo Banshee X support (2D only) is provided by our native
XF86_SVGA server in the X series.  So in other words, you don't need any
other package to use your V3/Banshee with X.  Do add v3-glide.tgz and
mesagl.tgz to play games.  :)

Good luck!

   install the mesagl.tgz package.

v2-glide
========
   Glide for the Voodoo 2.  Install this package if you intend to use
   your Voodoo 2 based board for gaming (for example, Quake).  Just use
   "installpkg" on this package.  You will also want to install the
   mesagl.tgz package.

v3-glide
========
   Glide for the Voodoo 3 and Banshee.  Install this package if you 
   intend to use your Voodoo 3 or Banshee based board for gaming (for
   example, Quake).  Just use "installpkg" on this package.  You will
   also want to install the mesagl.tgz package.

vr-glide

   Mesa 3.2 compiled with support for using a 3Dfx board.  Use this package
   in addition to the appropriate Glide package for your card (vg, v2, v3,
