Whoa...not so fast. That banshee driver is an X server not Banshee glide...that's Darryl Strauss's work, not Creative's. Glide for Voodoo3/Voodoo Banshee isnt done yet, almost, but not quite.
(Strauss reports that it's "compiled and together execept for X server interaction"...which isnt necessarily trivial)
There already was a Voodoo Banshee X server (on Darryl Strauss' page), and it's better and supports more acceleration than Creative's version.
Watch:
