If you're asking if glide is required to use DRI with 3dfx cards, yes.
I've actually tried to get the Alpha working with DRI and a voodoo3 on
FreeBSD. I got the driglide port compiling after fixing a stupid
screwup of mine (next release'll fix it, for now just explicitly disable
amd 3dnow extensions in ./configure), and the server enabled the DRI
fine, glxinfo worked, but when we ran glxgears it had a machine check.
At that point I was lost on what to do. I would say it's worth a try,
but don't get your hopes up too high.
