I don't have any experience with your particular situation, but what
happens if you try insmod -f tdfx? Per the man page for insmod, you can
use the -f switch to load the module, despite any kernel version
differences. Just an idea, anyway. Does the readme not indicate for which
kernel the module was compiled, if any?
