You can download Linux Glide rasterization library from 3Dfx's own websiet along with the Glide Programming Manual and Glide Reference Manual in PDF format. There is also a link from the same page to get Adove Acrobat reader to allowtyou to read PDF files: http://www.3dfx.com/software/download_glidel.html ^ Dont forget the l in the URL
3Dfx setup a news server (news.3dfx.com) and you should refer all the rest of your questions to the newsgroups on there.
For OpenGL you want to take a look at Mesa...a free implementation of OpenGL. It compiles under Linux and supports hardware rendering on the 3Dfx through the Glide libs. THe URL for this: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html
You can direct all of your questions about mesa to the Mesa mailing list described on the Mesa homepage.
Happy Glide coding... Phil
