I have a Voodoo Rush card so I've been paying pretty close attention to Voodoo
stuff. The short answer is yes. If you are displaying X at all you have a 2D
chipset built into your card (most likely an AT25 or AT3D). So you can run KDE
with no problem. Not only that, but you should be able to run accelerated
Mesa/OpenGL too. Look for beta/alpha Voodoo2 drivers at
