Hmm...
I've never used a dual VGA setup myself, but even if everything works okay, you will have to physically switch the monitor Cable from Card to Card.
A VGA Switchbox might help you out with that issue.
But I'm really not sure if those 2 3D Accellerators can co-exist with full functionality. The original intent of those dual setups was to use Multiple Desktops (2D only), but I'm really not sure you can fully use both 3D Accellerators in such a setup (?)

I can't speak for a Voodooł but at least on Voodoo˛ i remember there were Glide-Only drivers (i have one on an old game CD).
...looking on Falconfly's great site...
There is one Voddooł driver with only Glide and D3D functionality. Maybe there is an option to disable D3D (Voodoo˛'s have this option) and voila, you have a Glide-Only Driver. But the driver is very old so i think you schould update glide2x glide3x and corresponding dll's with one's from a newer 3Dfx Voodooł driver or update to one of those third party Glide drivers (or do they run alone???). And don't forget to set the BIOS option to choose wich is your primary card (in your case the nvidia). As far as i know you can only choose between AGP and PCI and so you have to set it to AGP.
Regards,
Andreas
P.S.
Don't forget, this is only theory.
