The G3 is an iBook. From http://everymac.com I see the card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 (2X AGP) with 32 MB of SDRAM The G4 Gigabit computer has a AGP ATI Radeon 9600 256MB Mac Pro card. This is an after market card. The G5 iMac has ATI Radeon 9600 with 128 MB of DDR SDRAM (AGP 8X support). Again per everymac.com listing. Of course the G3 and G5 are factory as they can not be changed out. Only the G4 has another card then factory. So it would appear everything is Radeon and I think there is a big problem with ATI cards and this version of Debian. If I recall, but I have not searched the archives of this list.
