OK, more specific: You need a driver that support the interface to
provide mmapping the DMA buffer to the application. Amancio's driver

Maybe you fall into the same error I have: This port just adds hooks
to use a 3dfx card, it does not enable you to display anything on your
VGA screen. If we're talking the same thing here, that is.
