You are using the framebuffer driver, which requires you have the 3dfx 
framebuffer driver built into your kernel.

I would reccomend the "tdfx" driver instead, it's faster and more capable, as 
well as doing 3D.

Basically grep /etc/X11/XF86Config for "fbdevhw" and replace the line:

Driver      "fbdevhw"

with

Driver      "tdfx"

NB: For hardware 3D you need a kernel with the 3dfx DRI module built.
