Games wont bloody work! Any help?

[greatunclebulgaria]

I installed a bunch of games from the mandrake 8 cds, when i run most of them (the more advanced ones, perhaps the 3d accelerated ones?, such as Tuxracer, Pingus, and the Clanbomber games,The little games like Tetris all work fine) the screen appears to flicker (as if preparing the graphics and everything), and then exits to the login screen! I have a voodoo bansee card and its listed in linux as generic 3dfx voodoo banshee. They used to work when i first installed linux, then they stopped, I know once I disabled 3d acceleration from mandrake control in the display setup and reinstalled them and they worked, but only some of them, Tuxracer (which i like lol) said at the console that it couldnt init the opengl. So i reinstalled linux from scratch (formatted the partition) and they still dont work. Now i cant even get the non open gl ones like pingus to work =[. Anyone have any ideas? Ill have to kill myself if I cant play tuxracer. Ive tried running running it in both KDE and Gnome, but theres no difference whatsoever (not that I thought there would be).

I tried the software and tech support forums but no luck =[

thanks
