even in spite of what the experts say:

I run Red Hat Linux 7.3, and have a Voodoo Graphics card.
I am prepared to fiddle with the sources myself, basically by
installing the sources from the SRPM, adding and changing things,
thus creating a patch, which can be included in a new SRPM, which
can be built, resulting in XFree86 RPMS which support the Voodoo
Graphics card. Sounds quite simple :-)
The sourcefiles which need to be added are (basically, I think)
the FX subdirectory from Mesa-3.4.2 (which corresponds to the version
of Mesa in the XFree86 sources).
As far as I can guess right now, after only limited research into the
sources, is that when X/DRI sees that no DRI support is available,
the software rendering in Mesa is used (which I guess is the files
programs/Xserver/GL/mesa/src/X/xmesa{1,2,3,4}.c and others ?)
The good old Mesa-3.4.2 can be Voodoo Graphics enabled by having
it include the FX subdirectory, so why shouldn't it still work ?
