Eh, my 600Mhz G3 iBook had a ATI Rage GPU, it could handle Warcraft 3, Aliens Vs Predator, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Sacrifice and allot of others, all at 640x480 or 800x600 but they did run.

3DFX cards are not Gallium-compatible. Gallium assumes that the card has programmable shaders, which Voodoos don't have.
If you're interested in Alphas, join #alpha and #gentoo-alpha on Freenode. I'm always there and I'm a Gentoo/Alpha developer. I would set my title to Gentoo Developer (instead of "Senior Member") or something, but I don't know how.

Fold into radeon driver
What should have happened was to fold the r128 driver into the radeon driver, bringing a whole bunch of benefits at once. Alex Deucher had a whole tree dedicated to this, which to my knowledge was permanently lost after a freedesktop.org hosting failure Did anybody copy or backup that code?

I have few old machines (Alpha architecture, Compaq Alphastation XP1000 to be precise) which uses Parmedia 2 chipset (Texas Instruments TVP4020), and I think this card was called ELSA Gloria. They use glint Xorg driver (with XAA acceleration). I would love to port it to EXA, but unfortunetly glint driver is very big, because it supports lots of chipsets designed by 3dlabs. Is there anybody already porting glint to EXA?

If for some reason someone actually cared significantly about glint, they should probably start with a KMS driver.
