Let's see if we can make this clear.

The 2D driver for 3dfx hardware is included with XFree86. You don't need
anything else to run it.

You mentioned a problem with not getting the virtual resolution you
wanted. It sounds like it could be a bug in the 3dfx 2D driver.

Glide is a library that is used by the DRI when supporting OpenGL
application on 3dfx hardware.

If you are installing the DRI for 3D you must install Glide. It has no
effect on 2D.

More information about the DRI can be found at
http://dri.sourceforge.net including mailing lists for discussing 3D/DRI
questions and development.
