 Well, they don't give out any programming information. The linux glide port 
was done by a volunteer under NDA for free.

 In the latest glide release there is included a small 3dfx device driver. It 
just seems to arbritrate the 3dfx and mmap the register space. I just glanced 
through the code. But at least there's some info.

 It can be found at:
