This is a combination of a Linux kernel module and a video output
driver, similar to <link linkend="mga_vid">mga_vid</link>.
You'll need a 2.4.x kernel with the <systemitem>agpgart</systemitem>
driver since <systemitem>tdfx_vid</systemitem> uses AGP.
Pass <option>--enable-tdfxfb</option> to <command>configure</command>
to build the video output driver and build the kernel module with
the following instructions.
