I'm in no way an expert here but
[drm] failed to load kernel module "tdfx"
means X is trying to load the tdfx.ko module to enable dri and failing.
man tdfx says:
" Note that this driver does not currently have support for the Voodoo
Banshee, Voodoo3, Voodoo5, or Voodoo6 based cards.  It also does not
currently support the Voodoo Rush."
So i think the answer to your question is no.
