downloaded all the source files for r37242, and built the driver and
accelerant. I then ran it under r37243, and it ran fine.
Okay, I'll then promote the 3dfx in place of tdfx in default Haiku image
and remove tdfx from the source tree.

Will not build, but should still be binary compatible until phys_addr_t
default to 64 bits. Which I fear Ingo just switch to by default by
enabling PAE for x86 32 bits.
Maybe you could package your version and allow people using older Haiku
revision to download and install (with instruction to disable tdfx on
their system) it.
I don't consider backporting it into the R1a<n> release branches for the
moment ;-)
