I really doubt you will get a Voodoo3 to work this way. XFree have lots
of problems with the Voodoo3 INT10 multihead even on x86 - the ROM seems
to do some quite tricky stuff.

On the other hand a Voodoo2 should work wonderfully because its got no
ROM, doesn't appear to be a video card and Glide2 has full source for
bringing the board up.

XFree86 also supports using it as a 2D device, but not currently (alas
8)) DRI and Xv also.
