If I recall correctly the *Only* way to use a Voodoo2 was with another video card. The Voodoo2 only delivered 3D graphics, and it basically piped the 2D desktop through it unchanged. (It's been a while, I could be all wet.)
The Voodoo 2 does 3D. But the Linux driver starting with X 4.0 doesn't really handle it. With 3.3 the Voodoo 2 handled games like Unreal Tournament quite well at 1024x768.
egh, just reread what you said. Voodoo 2 works fine standalone, I've been using it for a few years by itself.
