	Currently I am running the same hardware listed above and was able to get all working. For the SB Live, you need to go to go to this area ftp://opensource.creative.com/pub/snapshots/emu10k1-19991224.tar.gz and install this package. If I remember correctly, I ran ./install and that was all. 

	For the VooDoo3 try this site: http://linux.3dfx.com/open_source/download/voodoo3_banshee.htm
