I believe that page may be appropriate to V3.3.6, but most newer cards
are only supported under V4. Information for that release can be found
at http://www.sfree.org/4.2.0/Status.html.

That page shows that Voodoo2, 4, and 5 are all supported in 4.2.
4.2.0:

    Support for Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 chips is provided by the
    "glide" driver (this requires version 2.x of the Glide library,
    which is not part of the XFree86 distribution).

    Support (including acceleration) for Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3,
    Voodoo4, and Voodoo5 is provided by the "tdfx" driver.
