Firstly, you're asking this on the Fedora list, so I'm assuming you mean 
you will install Fedora Core 1 or 2. Fedora (although having ties with 
Redhat) is not really called redhat any more.

In answer to your question - truth is, I don't know. I think you will 
have no problems with FC1, as this uses the same XFree86 all the other 
Live CDs do, so I'm assuming you'll be OK.

However, apparently FC2 uses another X system XOrg (X.org) or something, 
so you may need to check http://freedesktop.org/XOrg or something to 
check whether it supports the Voodoo 3.

Regards,
Ed.
