I gave the new 4.0.1 and your xfree86 tree a try. I included the tdfx
driver in the xfree86.cf file and everything compiled and installed
nicely. So I decided to send you a quick testreport.
The driver unfortunately only seems to run in 8bit color. 16bit starts but
the screen looks very wierd, colors all off ... 24 and 32 bit color modes
are reported beeing unsupported at the moment. There is also a problem
with scrolling in windows, no matter which I tried, netscape, a terminal,
lines of text get clobbed or are not displayed at all. Other that that
the Server is nice and pretty fast (compared to fbdev...).

The screen artifacts bug is fixed.  Only problem remaining is 24bpp.
