the driver used on the virtual machine must correspond to the gpu the system emulates, if the card emulated is not a voodoo, i think it will let you install but will do nothing with them
unless you can change the gpu emulated by vmware
last time i used it, it wasn't possible
for this kind of emulation, i think you can't do it this way
you need a real pc, and a real voodoo running the drivers you want to get the graphical effects you are searching, that is why so many people want to buy old voodoo cards and assemble old pentium 4 or athlon xp pcs to play them
