I have a Voodoo3 2000 PCI card. Acceleration has always worked out of the box
with any distro that I have used. That includes previous versions of Ubuntu. I
think I have finally tracked down the problem. In Breezy, libglide2 is installed
by default. However, the description in synaptic says "Note, this is NOT the
package you want for Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo 3, Voodoo 4, or Voodoo 5."

The libglide3 package description says it is for voodoo 3 cards, however it is
not installed by default. Installing libglide3 enables dri. However, when I
start games, I recieve this error message.

gd error (glide): Can't find or access Banshee/V3 board
fx Driver: ERROR no Voodoo1/2 Graphics or Voodoo Rush !

The system drops to software rendering.
