I suspect the problem is with XFree86.  I had similar problems when I
compiled by hand;  I regret to say that I've forgotten the fix, but a
google search on 3DFX and XFree86 4.x might prove useful.  My guess
would be (if you didn't hand-compile X) that whoever did the distro
made the same mistake I did.  Which is easy, since it boils down to a
bug in the X build scripts.
