The URL doesn't work anymore. Get the patch from here:

On http://www.medex.hu/~danthe/tdfx/ I found a newer version of the tdfxfb
driver. It was a patch against linux 2.4.4 . I don't know why it never went
into the kernel. Maybe Linus was too busy at that time?

The current kernel still contains version 0.1.3 which is rather old. Much
work has been done until version 0.2.2, mainly support for:

* non-8 dot wide fonts
* multihead
* full 8/16/24/32 bit color (fixes the ugly bootup penguin)
* MIPS
* module options

I think it's worth to give it a chance and to continue development on the
base of that code. So I "ported" it to kernel 2.4.2x. Get this new patch
here:

http://tu-ilmenau.de/~johe-ii/3dfx-0.2.2-2.4.21-pre1.diff.gz

I just merged the improvements that happened to v0.1.3 while it was in the
kernel and did some source formating.

Be encouraged to test it, do further improvements and please take it into
the kernel!

Thank you
	Joachim
