I'd say you need the last two drivers. You need to load the kernel module first so DRI can talk to the card. Then you need the XFree86 driver. I finally got 3d on my laptop. DRI finally supports the rage pro 3d cards! Tuxracer works now! I have to load mach64.o (modprobe mach64) then I tell Xfree86 to use the "ati" driver which has mach64 3d support. The module can go in /etc/modules and the driver goes in XF86Config-4 I've also had success with a TNT Riva card, but when I was using it I didn't do the debian packages. I just downloaded the drivers from NVidia's website, followed the directions and it worked great. I'd recommend the debian packages. I used them with the mach64 (debian packages made from the cvs tree and not in the main debian archives).
