I found it surprising that Solaris didn't have any 3Dfx gfx chips in the hardware support list. I have a 3Dfx Voodoo3 3000. I thought Voodoo's were quite common. Why wouldn't Sun include drivers for them?

There are precompiled solaris XFree86-drivers newly downloadable from www.sun.com/solaris. There's also a steb-by-step installation instruction.

Most graphics cards should work now.
